Lo no longer draws upside down, but still does on occasion reverse letters. It's all part of the wonderful development and integration of the left and right hemispheres of the brain!RunninL8https://www.blogger.com/profile/00954492756662221754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335028367566852790.post-81892201069994024432010-09-04T10:36:14.095-08:002010-09-04T10:36:14.095-08:00Hi there!

My five year old does this quite often and I'm curious about your experience with your daughter's penchant for this. Do you think it was a sign of something beyond the drawing? (I hope that doesn't sound negative, I don't think of this as something bad, just curious and since you've had the same experience...)samiljahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15661232118950631482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335028367566852790.post-30920217251804921662008-06-06T07:00:00.000-08:002008-06-06T07:00:00.000-08:00Wow, that is creative!

My son is left-handed and writes letters backwards, writes the order of letters backwards, and when he pretends to read he always starts on the right side of the page! I'm sure Waldorf remedial teachers would have something to say about these "backwards" and upside-down kids, but I think it's OK -- though for my son he's going to need some help unless we decide to teach him to read Arabic instead :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335028367566852790.post-16978465358400954022008-05-31T13:55:00.000-08:002008-05-31T13:55:00.000-08:00NO squashing whatsoever!!!

When I asked him why, he said, mom, I want to see it in the mirror the right way. !?!?!?! How in the world he knew that would work is beyond me.

You can come visit us over at Travel Tales.<BR/>I see we have a lot of interests in common. Your little girl is lovely.<BR/>If you make it over to the Emerald Isle, feel free to use us as a base. We'll be here until the end of 2008.A Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733018108554810419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335028367566852790.post-13183916091512449942008-05-29T12:59:00.000-08:002008-05-29T12:59:00.000-08:00Oh, I was kiding about the shrieking!!!!

Hmmmmm. My educated guess would be that she's super creative and smart. We are told not to worry about the children that write backwards until about 1st. grade, by then most children will straighten things out. I bet she'll turn it around in her own time. Try not to worry too much. I'm sure it's all fine. I hope this helped. I love her drawings!Anethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05586391189475336018noreply@blogger.com
