Parenting Workshops for Developmental Coordination Disorder

1. Overview of Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)

What is DCD and why parents need targeted support

Developmental coordination disorder is a neuro-developmental condition that affects fine and gross motor skills. Children with DCD are as bright as their peers, yet everyday tasks—tying shoelaces, holding a pencil, riding a bicycle—feel monumentally difficult. Because DCD is often mislabeled as “clumsiness,” parents rarely receive the targeted guidance required to foster independence and self-esteem.

Common challenges parents face

• Mealtime spills leading to power struggles
• Homework fatigue from poor pencil grip and slow writing speed
• Social exclusion when kids avoid playground games
• Parental guilt after repeated reminders to “just try harder”
• Information overload from generic parenting blogs that don’t address motor-skill delays

2. Benefits of Attending a Parenting Workshop for DCD

Skill-building for daily living activities

In our workshops you’ll learn step-by-step “task deconstruction” methods that break complex movements into bite-sized actions. Example: turning shoe-tying into a four-step rhyme your child can master in two weeks.

Improved parent-child communication

Replace corrective statements (“You’re holding the spoon wrong”) with coaching language (“Let’s rest the spoon on your superhero finger”). Parents report a 35 % drop in daily arguments after week three.

Stress reduction and confidence boost

Guided mindfulness scripts, peer check-ins, and a 24×7 parent WhatsApp group lower cortisol levels and restore your sense of competence.
