How clutzy is too clutzy?

[*TripleJ*]

hmmmm DS is 26 months and falls over constantly i think its just him wanting to get everywhere quickly no time to be careful

My DS is nine and we laugh about his ability to fall over fresh air!
Like your DS if there is anything at all on the ground you can guarantee he will trip over it, his own feet included.
I think it is because he is so focused on whatever he is doing at the time or going to do that he forgets "left foot, right foot, breathe in breathe out, left foot, right foot ........"
20mths is still little so I wouldnt worry yet. How does his eye hand coordination seem?? DS is a shocker on his feet at times but can catch a ball from anywhere anytime with no sorries at all.

Thanks for the replies gals - I'm sure you're on to something when you say they're just focused and in a hurry.
Stacey, yes, I think his hand eye coordination is ok for his age. He's quite a forward little fella most of the time - doesn't hesitate to try something new, so it would make sense that he doesn't stop to look where he's going lol.
