[quote=Anonymous]Just wanted input from your experiences with your own kids on whether my friend's child is...

a) acting totally normally for an 11 yr old
b) not totally normal for that age but behavior could be changed by using different approach
c) not totally normal for that age, likely has something going on and should have assessment/professional help.

Basically while at home the child seems unfocused, distracted and oblivious in terms of her surroundings and body awareness. She steps on objects lying on the floor, will kick over drinks that are set down, eats food and lets crumbs fall everywhere, forgets constantly what she is asked to do. She seems to never notice she is making a mess (glue dripping onto the floor), water spilling all over the place, she will walk with muddy shoes right into the house or end up cutting / scratching the furniture if she holding something sharp in her hand.

Her teacher has no complaints and she does well academically and socially. If it is something that really matters to her she remembers it.

Any thoughts? [/quote]
