Wanting to correct my 4 year old's running form
by Maureen
(Matthews, NC)
Hi, my husband and I have noticed our son seems to run from side to side, making him awkward and slow. This is likely a motor planning issue (he has Apraxia). Any ideas on how I can help him run with better form? He does have OT for fine motor help through our school system but I would prefer to work on the running myself because his time with the OT is very limited. Thanks for any suggestions you might have. :)
