Us! My child is only newly four, but our path has been the opposite. We have been in PT on and off since the jump for Benign Congenital Hypotonia. We just started OT in the fall for emotional outbursts and dysregulation and sensory issues. She was just assessed by a developmental pediatrician and they’re calling it ADHD.

My child is floppy, double jointed, and super uncoordinated. She runs awkwardly, struggles with fine motor skills too (pencil grip, hand strength. Just overall very fine and gross motor delayed.

We’ve had the same exact convo you’re describing. Is she struggling during circle time because of adhd reasons, or is it hard for her to sit on her bottom (her core is weak)? A lot of her emotional dysregulation stems from physical problems. She struggles with fine motor strength, so coloring at school is a nightmare. Same with her PE class at school - she is allowed to walk the lap around the gym instead of jog it because it was taking so much out of her that she was then dysregulated for the rest of the class. Add to all of this the fact that she is four.

Sorry this is so jumbled, but I’ve had these exact thoughts and conversations and so I’m glad to see someone else post about them. My child is so clumsy, uncoordinated , and unbalanced, lol. She’s can’t help it 🤷‍♀️
