How To Tell If Your Middle School Age Child Is Having Trouble With Bodily-Kinesthetic Skills

How can I tell if my middle school-age child is having trouble with bodily-kinesthetic skills?

Middle school children who are having trouble with bodily-kinesthetic skills may show clumsiness around the home by walking and bumping into objects that are in the way. They may not take up the right amount of space in social situations, or they'll slouch or throw their body out there for others to trip over as well. A reluctance to participate in physical activities suggests trouble with bodily-kinesthetic skills. If a child is struggling with going out and about, walking somewhere or taking a trip to the mall, this may be indicative that the child is struggling with bodily-kinesthetic abilities.
