My son is 3 years old and can already read. But he can’t ride a trike or catch a ball? What do I do?
This boy is all brains. He reads, speaks his mind, can count to 100 , knows his planets, shapes, colors, loves clocks n calendars, and is starting to understand what addition and subtraction is. He surfs the web like nobody’s business. Physically he can jump, canter, climb, dance in rythum to a beat (he’s into drumming too), but when it comes to rolling a ball, catching a ball, or riding a tricycle – he just doesn’t seem to get it. He just learned how to move forward in a ‘little tyke’ kid car. Before that he would only push the car from behind or push backwards. I’m not sure if I should be doing anything. But I don’t want my son to be the only one on the team who doesn’t know how to catch or ride a bike. I don’t want opinions, so if that’s all you have, please don’t bother. I need some real information about child development here.
I personally feel that he needs to be outside or moving around the house to develop those gross motor skills–which make it possible to push and throw. You say he is surfing the web—3 year olds shouldn’t be surfing the web or watching a lot of TV. They need hands on expereinces to grow and develop. Get him moving around–engage him in play. Invite other children over for play dates—they won’t necessarily play together, but your son can learn a lot by watching what other children do. Little children learn a lot of things from playing. It may seem like he isn’t doing anything, but trust me, he will learn a lot.
