Could my preschooler have mild cerebral palsy ??
Hi. I have just read your question and i share the exact experience with my 3 year old boy.. He started to walk at 18 months and his co-ord and balance are out. He tires a lot quicker than your average 3 year old and he's not active really at all. He still cant run or jump, and although it looks like he's just afraid to do things, its actually become clearer that he knows theres a good chance of him falling over AGAIN, and thats why he's just scared. He's speech is still not really there and the words that he can say are your basic one syllabull word. He's started intense physio, speech and OT therapy now and is improving slowly. Dont be afraid of the name - i used to be, but its only a name. It really just means that their developemental delays or disorders just makes them a little slower than other kids...but they are still ok. If you can find yourself a good therapist she will be just fine, but dont wait too long. So many kids out there today are labelled something, even those you think are completely fine, somehow, have some Disease, which is also a horrible name. I dont know what is normal in today's life anymore!!! Your daughter just needs a little therapy i think.. PS. does she sometimes walk with her arms held up, bending at the elbows?? if so, thats a clic sign also..
