I am a mum of 3 who works with families and early childhood teams all around the world. My involvement in the early childhood space started when I watched my son struggle with his gross motor and fine motor skills. I still remember watching Hugh avoid playing with new friends as a 5 year old because he couldn't keep up in games of 'chasey'. Other 5 year olds, including his twin sister, were leaping up the fireman pole while Hugh struggled maintaining his balance at ground level. This made him exceptional when it came to talking to adults, but it limited his connection with other children.
