4 year old preschooler
My child is 4 years old and is very verbal and understands very well. Her motor skill I think may be behind. She does not want to color except scribbling for about ten seconds. Her writing is very bad and her cutting is not very good. She can't put doll clothes on without help. Legos are too challenging. She just started pre-k so she has a whole year before kindergarden. Her attention span is very short as well. She was a drug exposed baby who we adopted at birth. Should I be concerned or just see what happens this year is pre-k.

I am a former pre schoool teacher and nanny now a stay at home mom. Keep encoureging your daughter and provide fun interesting fun things for her to do at home. Markers, no mess paint in general, home made playdough all these things will encourge her to use her hands and strengthen her hand mucels. You could also ask her teacher if she has any suggestions that could be doing with her at home to help her with these skills. Don't lose heart, keeping encoureging and loveing your daughter, all the rest will come together.
