My SIX year old sons hands shake when writing or performing other fine motor tasks (putting together legos, etc.).  It has gotten to the point where his teacher and school counselors have recommended we have it "checked" to see if there is anything wrong, and my son wants to build a "hand brace" to help with his writing.  The Pediatrician here has suggested either "physuiological tremors" or "inattentive dysmetria".  My resources are very limited where I live, and I'm really not sure what this means.  Can you help provide some information on this?

A number of parents in our support group for Klinefelter Syndrome have reported that their son's have hand tremors.  While my son does not, it does not seem to be uncommon in this group.  Don't know if your son has this, but just thought I would mention it.Margaret
