Is it normal for dc's to write backwards when they first start writing ?

[Tillyscoutsmum]

DD is 3.8. She can write all of the letters for her name (and some other letters as well) but always writes it down from right to left iyswim ?

Normal or a bit unusual ?

Normal.

I think its a bit unusual but not unheard of, I did it (am left handed) my DD did a little and her cousin was quite prone to it too but I know a lot of people who've never seen or heard of it, so maybe its familial.
It didn't cause me or my DD any problems

Normal.

Normal.

If they are still doing it when they are 7 or 8, get them assessed for dyslexia. But perfectly normal at 3, 4, 5 and even 6 apparently (yes, we have this issue too!)

Thanks for the reassurance
