Child 2.7 yrs can't throw
I have been looking after a little girl who will be 3 in June for 3 months I have noticed over a few weeks that she doesn't throw when we feed the ducks she will hold her arm out then just drop the bread I know lots of children will do that, when playing ball catch she will always walk to you and more or less pass over to you, we had a game using a dice last week she just didn't seem to know how to let go of the dice after awhile would again drop it.
I have been trying different activities today throwing small bean bags into a board with hole pockets tried to keep her back about 3feet away she would try jumping with arms out leaning forward then would either drop the bean bag or go closer and hold arms out and drop.
She does carry a blanky toy around a lot also as many teddies as she can hold in 1 arm she tries climbing slide riding bikes soft play carrying these toys so I am always taking them of her so she can safely climb.
With playing cars/trains she just pushes them backwards and forwards I try to encourage to push them around the tracks
She can do puzzles may need to be told to put toy down cut with scissors
I think she needs more time playing when shes not here she goes to groups or out somewhere not at home a lot and is an only child she did have a childminder befoe they moved here 1 - 2 days a week
We go to 1 group when shes here she likes to walk around carrying cuddly toys or pushing prams
She is a very social little girl but the chlldren here do find her a bit hard to play with, she talks very well.
Any ideas I will keep doing rolling and throwing activities as well as lots of general playing
Sorry so long
Thanks for reading
