[Oz-gifted] Handwriting going backwards aged 10.

[Matthew & Tracey Wood]

Hi Aliso,
Is it possible he is doing it on purpose? (act of rebellion). Just wondered
as you've said he is stubborn and the fact that he seems to be going
backwards. Wouldn't be the first time a bright kid has done this for
attention, especially if he has been nagged a lot about his writing. Maybe
he thinks if he can't get better, he might as well give up.

Just a thought!

Tracey
