Re: Does Anyone have Kids or want Kids

Perhaps there should be a specific portion of the forums dedicated to that type of discussion? I don't see why we can't offer help and advice, especially when children with Dyspraxia may someday need to use this forum themselves, and their parents may be able to do more to help them in the meantime...

Re: Does Anyone have Kids or want Kids

I am not in any way say...

Dyspraxia during lockdown with children

Hi All, I’m new to this forum and looking for some support with a child who has dyspraxia. Has anyone noticed that lockdown has exacerbated their dyspraxia? My son has been having almighty tantrums and anger issues since lockdown. Banging his head against the wall etc. He does have tantrums anyway w...
