thanx af
Re: numbers
Dyslexia or a developmental vision problem or farsightedness could all cause this type of a problem. A developmental optometrist could diagnose or rule out the last 2 (covered by insurance becasue it is an evaluation) and you can move on from there.
6 is very young and children this age are still learning to tell the difference between numbers and letters. This might be a condition that sticks with her or it might be developmental to her age. I would only keep a gentle eye on this and see what transpires in the school year ahead.
