my four year old grandson walks only on tiptoes.. is this a problem?

Hmmm. . . has he always done that--the tiptoes, I mean--or is it new?  It may just be that he's trying out a new skill.  \n\nScreaming fits. . .my sister's kids were screamers.  I handled it by telling them that they had to go outside until they could calm down--even if it meant handing them their coats and pushing them out the front door.  At 4 he should be old enough to reason with.  But I'd also talk to him about better ways to express himself.  Years ago, I worked with a little boy to whom I gave a Nerf (Is that how you spell it?) ball and told him to put in his pocket and squeeze the dickens out of it if he felt he needed to scream.  I told him it was perfectly OK to say "I'm mad" but not OK to disrupt everyone else's day by screaming.  \n\nGood Luck!

Not at all...I think it's just been updated a bit :) ~ my dad taught me that rule about walking on the outside; I do that for my daughter :)

If if they don't have to, I would suggest doing so. Always try to be safe, especailly if the kid is clumsy, like me.

How long has he been off the track? Most OTTB need control - do a lot of circles, serpentines, patterns at a walk and trot. Teach him to bend, work on being supple and relaxed. If he speeds up spiral in the circle. Stand for several minutes. Flex his nose around both ways. While doing the circles and other things - at a walk and trot (control - you know he has speed) - teach him to move around your leg. Teach him to legnthen and shorten his stride. Keep his mind busy and learning - not able to predict what you're going to ask next. When he learns what you want and succeeds at the basics he'll feed off that. Keep yourself centered and relaxed also.

Sometime my feet just get cold. Not a prob for us. Could be a control issue. Tell him that if you have to take your socks off, or if he makes an issue out of it you are not going to do it. Bet his tune changes real fast.

It could be psycological but it is far more likely it is neurological. I would get him into a pediatrican and let the doctor check him out.

Special need children should not be rushed to do things that might feel complicated to them. Give him more time and let him learn slowly instead of drastically transitioning him. I would try with an open cup and put saran clear wrap over it and make a little opening. Teach him to not let water touch the clear wrap and slowly guide him. They need to be conditioned...even little puppies need guidance like that.

I think that it would be worse if he wasn't involved in some type of physical activity. It is a good bonding time for the two of you ,he is developing his motor skills and he is having a great time. It is a win, win situation!

Trampoline it is more fun in the long run and healthy he is playing and jumping on it and exercising on it at the same time. Good luck I am sure that whatever you get for him he will like.

What kind of amazon are you hanging around with, that can tote an 11 yr old kid on her shoulders all day? The kid has two legs, I assume, suggest that he walk, if the kid doesn't walk, maybe you should.

Tell him to get comfortable.  If you ahve kids, make sure they are asleep.  Have his favorite food and dinks on hand.  And let him take off his shoes.

my son was sleepwalking until he was 24,however he doesn't now...also drinking makes it worse,perhaps you can discuss your concerns with your family doctor.

I have the same problem, and quite honestly sometimes it can get a little embarassing in a quiet room.  But i find that if i'm in that kind of a situation then a kind of walk more on the outside of the foot.\n\nHope this helps you!!

behavioral problems? sounds like you spoiled him a little? you got to set your own rules when he is young and not let him get away with everything... you probably never wooped his butt or made him stand in a corner, so now your paying for it. set some strict rules for him and over time he will not be behaving like a brat.

She seems to be doing fine in her physical milestone development. Crawling comes around 6-9 months of age. \n\nBut the important thing to note is that not all kids crawl or kneel before they start walking. It's totally normal for kids to skip one or two milestones as long as they are moving ahead.

Try getting a kid to walk on your back.
