[quote=Anonymous]My 5yo still randomly trips over her own feet, and she is absolutely on track with gross mobility— first steps at 1, walking well by 18mo, climbing/running/jumping/hopping/balancing on one foot on a normal schedule. I would stop focusing on the fact the she trips over her feet sometimes and instead look at her capabilities more broadly. Can she hop on one foot? Balance on one foot? Jump from one foot to the other? At the playground, does she climb? Can she climb up and then climb down backwards? That kind of thing? Also, if you are worried, I’d suggest signing her up for dance or gymnastics in addition to talking to a specialist. She may just need more exposure or encouragement for moving her body. A setting where movement is varied, challenging, and fun is great for this age. Also, being able to see how peers solve movement problems is great, she may have missed out on some of that during isolation and just need more exposure.[/quote]
