Backward numbers?

Question:

My daughter almost always writes her numbers backwards. She comprehends mathmatics and her reading/writting skills are at or above average for her age (6). Could it be a form of dyslexia? Or maybe something else?

Answers:
First of all relax, it is very common for children of six to get some things backward. You cannot have your child tested for dyslexia yet. Why? Because she is too young, that isn't done until they are older after they have grown out of what is probably going on here. With dyslexia you don't just have a letter or number here or there backward, EVERYTHING is backward and they often try to read backward. If it gets worse or doesn't improve in time you may need testing. Again, testing is not done at age 6, for dyslexia or even for other learning disabilities.
