I look after a little girl who has just turned 3. She shows a preference for using her left hand generally. She has just started wanting to write and can form the first letter of her name. The only thing is, she does it backwards, from right to left. Then does a row of them, again, from right to left.
My instinct is to praise her attempts and not try to make her do it the other way round. Is this right though, or is this something which should be nipped in the bud at her first attempts? I don't want to put her off trying... Thanks
