Help!! 2 - Euless,TX

I know you posted a while back (this digest found it's way into my spam mail), but I thought I might throw this out to you too. My daughter is also extremely clumsy. She has already had 3 black eyes and she is only 8. I took her in for testing for dyslexia and found out t hat she is also dyspraxic. It's literally clinical clumsiness.

Some of the other symptoms were slow to meet milestones. My daughter did not walk until 17 months. That was the only milestone that she was slow to meet, but when she was diagnosed everything seemed to make sense about her clumsiness.

Best of Luck!

That happened to my son when he was 2. He ran into a wall and about 6 months later his front tooth started turning brownish grey. It was dying. He had to have a root canal, thankfully he had his baby teeth so there was no long term effect. He's now 19 with a beautiful smile!

It is likely an old tooth injury which has killed the nerve. That can take a year or longer to happen. My son went through this a few years ago. He got a small abscess above the tooth and had to have it pulled so it did not damage the permanent tooth. He is almost 8 and we are still waiting for the permanent tooth. He had it pulled when he was 5.5 yo.

On a side note, the clumsiness may also be related to needing glasses. A little girl in my sons toddler class got her eyes checked after a year of "clumsiness" only to find out she really just couldn't see anything.
It didn't run in her family either. . .
