Not what I'd hoped for March 10, 2010
Casandra J. Vandermeulen (chicago, IL)
I have read a couple books on Dyspraxia, and this would probably be my least favorite. There are some ideas for kids to "get playing" but mostly outdoor. I would reccommend The Out-of Sync Child Has Fun FAR MORE!!!!!

This is a great little book. Its refreshing to find such practical, sensible advice on this topic. I have found it so useful and as it is pretty much "jargon free" it is very accessible to people like me. I will be recommending this to others.
