My clumsy child |
Young children often stumble and fall. This is part
of ‘growing up’, but there is a fine line between
normal childhood clumsiness or awkwardness, and
a physical movement disorder called ‘Developmental
Coordination Disorder’.
We take a closer
look at what to do when clumsiness starts affecting
your child’s development in this issue.
All the best,
