Signs of proprioceptive difficulties in a child

👉 frequently bumps into objects, trips
👉 appears clumsy, poor coordination

👉 difficulty grading force (too hard / too soft)
👉 presses, pushes or hits too hard

👉 seeks strong input (jumping, running, crashing)
👉 enjoys “heavy work” (pushing, pulling, carrying)

👉 poor body awareness (doesn’t know where the body is in space)
👉 difficulties with posture and body positioning

👉 leans on hands or slumps when sitting
👉 gets tired quickly during activities

👉 difficulty with fine motor tasks (writing, fastening, drawing)
👉 problems with motor planning

👉 seeks oral input (chewing, biting)
👉 difficulty with focus and attention

Important:

This is not just “clumsiness” or personality.
It’s how the nervous system processes body input.
