Children write Chinese characters in reverse, what is going on?

Writing backwards is a common problem for many first-graders. This does not mean that the child is mentally retarded, nor does it simply mean that he is not careful enough in his writing, but rather that he is not strong enough to distinguish between shapes and the spatial position of characters. In other words, his visual perception is weak, or he does not distinguish between left and right, or he does not have a strong sense of verticality and space.

Of course, these are not diseases, but the manifestation of the child's physical immaturity.

If your child often makes mistakes in his homework, all we have to do is remind him and tell him what is right. For example, if he writes b as d, then we say, "b should be written like this (to demonstrate a correct one) with the circle on the right."

Remind them a few more times, and your child will gradually stop making mistakes. Therefore, we need to be patient and wait for the first grade children to grow. ‍‍

It is normal for children in the first grade to write backwards. Dirty handwriting is a problem of children's writing habits, and it is mostly related to children's living habits. As the saying goes, "words are like people", and those sloppy and unclean children tend to write their homework dirty and messy.

In this case, we still have to start with "providing him with a clean and tidy living environment" and gradually guide him to correct his study habits. ‍‍

My child is six years old, he is left-handed, he always writes backwards, and he can't hold a pen in his right hand. This is normal. I've been left-handed before, I've been left-handed for 15 years, and I used to get almost every question in class about looking up a dictionary and drawing a picture, and the order of the strokes was reversed.

But I'm alive and well now. They all envy me that I am left-handed, and there are only 2 left-handers in our class. It's a child's nature, and it proves that your child is smarter and different from others.

For example, if you write 6, it will be written like a. Write with your right hand. When the baby is small, parents need to pay attention to him the most, many behaviors and habits are very related to this period, this does not have to worry too much, parents guide him correctly and patiently, and can be corrected soon, remember not to make noise, so as not to backfire.

It's better to write in reverse, than not to be able to write, and the child is still young and can't ask for too much. It is normal for children to be young and not able to write. ‍‍

Let your child play jigsaw puzzles more often to improve his ability to distinguish shapes; You can also let your child do a lot of maze exercises, or encourage him to make mazes by himself, which can train his visual browsing and visual tracking skills; You can also let him do more drawing exercises by doodling to improve his hand-eye coordination. ‍‍

Grade 1 children are unfamiliar with the learning of numbers and Chinese characters, and those seemingly simple symbols and numbers are difficult to distinguish and remember in the eyes of these beginners. ‍‍

Reflect on the way you sit when you teach your child.

If the first teaching is still face-to-face, when the child converts, will there be difficulty in conversion, and the mirror image is used instead of 180-degree rotation.

Many parents have said that my child can also write backwards. The babies didn't realize that they were writing incorrectly. Many mothers are worried about their children, is there something wrong? Not really.

1 This phenomenon is called mirror writing, and the phenomenon of mirror writing mostly occurs in preschool children, and it is a process that many children will go through when they are literate and write. At this stage, the child will be left and right, and as he grows older, the child will slowly learn to read and write correctly.

2 Generally speaking, before the age of 7-8, parents do not need to worry too much about the fact that their children do not have to worry too much about their children's anti-handwriting, and if they are still like this after the age of 8, they need special attention. See if you have dyslexia. We need to understand the world of our children.

In addition to the left and right, many children do not distinguish between strokes, which is not too harsh on preschoolers. These are all necessary ways for children to write.

3 This is related to the cognitive characteristics of the child's brain. Children aged 3-7 are in the pre-arithmetic stage proposed by Piaget, and children at this stage can recognize simple symbols, but too abstract symbols still cannot fully understand. For example, mathematical symbols, English letters, Chinese characters.

Abstract symbols have directionality, and children's differentiation of directions is a progressive process. First up and down, then left and right, many children do not distinguish left and right until they are 5-6 years old.

In a child's brain, an arrow is an arrow no matter how it is placed upside down, while adults have different definitions depending on the direction. Children need to spend time and brain power learning and adapting to the directionality of symbols.

Primary school students will write the wrong word, this is a more research topic and phenomenon, some aspects I can't say, in teaching, some children will have this situation, this situation is because the child is the earliest possible contact with painting, he has no concept of order, he will draw Chinese characters as a painting, this is one, the other, maybe the child before the contact with writing, he already has a fixed way of thinking or he is trying to feel new. It is also possible to be unconscious.

This may be because when children learn to write, parents do not better guide and guide children to master the correct learning style, which will easily lead to confusion among children.

It is very likely that because he writes with his left hand, or the textbook is read the other way around, so the words are also reversed, and parents should correct their children's writing habits.

Because they like it, they find it interesting and interesting to write like this.

The main reasons that cause children to write inverse words are as follows:

1. Learn to write too early。The child's left and right brain development is uneven, resulting in the child writing words backwards. For example, when writing the number 3.

2. The child's seat in the kindergarten is unreasonable. For example, learn to write the word 'nine'. Some children usually sit with their backs to the blackboard and turn their chairs around during class.

Turn it back when you write. For example, learn to write the word 'nine'.

In the child's mind, the mouth of this character is facing the window, so when he recites and writes, he will also open the mouth towards the window, which creates the effect of the reverse word.

How to deal with children's inverse writing:

It can usually exercise children's visual perception ability. In the eyes of many children, 6 and 9 are the same word, and b and q are also the same word. In the eyes of many children, each word is like a mobile phone, which is a mobile phone when it is held and still a mobile phone when it is held in reverse.

Therefore, it is necessary to emphasize to children that in the world of words, writing straight and writing backwards are not the same word, so that children can enhance their ability to recognize words.

Make cards of words that are easy to write backwards, let children practice looking at what words are in front and what words are in reverse, and put them together for children to identify and strengthen their impressions. This will quickly reduce the number of inverted words.

Clearly analyze the specific characteristics of each similar word with the child, for example, 6 is the little head down, 9 is the little head up, and the child will think in his head when he writes these two words again, and he will turn the words around in his mind and think of the correct way to write them.

The reason why children often write words backwards.

What should I do if my child writes backwards? Is it because the brain is not well developed?

When teaching children to write, many parents may have encountered such a problem:When a child writes, he writes the words backwards. There are Chinese characters written upside down; There are letters and pinyin written upside down; Write the numbers upside down.

What's worse is that the child may not be able to change after several times of teaching, at which point parents may begin to doubt life and worry about the child's brain development and learning ability. It's really not necessary! This kind of anti-character is actually called "mirror character", because the development of spatial vision ability of preschool children is not perfect, and it is easy to appear when learning to write.

And for children, there is not much difference between writing and drawing, and the splicing of strokes in all directions and angles may become a single word. Mom and Dad can relax. With the development of the baby's visuospatial ability, the situation of writing inverse characters will generally improve after primary school.

As long as there is more guidance, the baby's hand muscles can be well exercised, and the spatial perception ability can be gradually cultivated.

What should parents do if their child writes the opposite word?

1.First, be patient and relaxed. When children have "mirror writing", parents should be tolerant. Understanding children's backwriting is generally phased, give them more space, there is no need to rush, and there is no need to scold them.

2.Promote the development of children's visual perception through play。Parents can improve their children's eyesight and hand-eye coordination by letting their children play games such as coloring, paper cutting, building blocks, walking mazes, and puzzles.

Parents can also make cards of words that are easy to write backwards, so that children can practice seeing which words are right and which are right-handed, and put them together for children to recognize and enhance their impression.

3.Do more outdoor activities to improve motor coordination. Sensory impairment in children is related to modern parenting styles.

Parents who have the opportunity should take their children to the outside world. Don't always leave your children at home. Often take your child to shoot ball, racket, rubber band jumping, sandbag throwing, hopscotch, etc.

and train their motor coordination.

4.There are some very specific ways to do this. For example, place a blackboard at home and ask your child to write large letters on it; The order of writing at the beginning develops the habit of writing from top to bottom and from left to right; Let your child write in the air with his fingers and feel the sensation of movement.

Then correct patiently, don't rush, take your time. No, it's just that the child feels that it is easier to remember it in his own way.

Children write anyway, parents must give them timely guidance to help children correct, writing reverse words does not mean that the child's brain is not well developed.

There is a reason for a child to write backwards, but it is by no means an IQ reason, it may be because the child's brain is not completely causing the brain to have a mirror reaction, and the survey shows that this phenomenon generally lasts.

Six or seven years old.

It may be a habit problem, and we should correct it in time and correctly.

Because most children will go through a mirror stage in the process of growing up, in which they will be able to read and write left and right. As children grow older, they will learn to read and write correctly.

Generally speaking, parents don't have to worry too much about their children's anti-handwriting. If your child still writes backwards often after the age of 8, you need to pay attention to whether you have dyslexia.

The precautions are as follows:

1.Be patient and receptive. This is a normal phenomenon in the child's cavity, and it is also a phase, even if the child has gone to school to do, if she writes mirror words like Tingting at every turn, it also means that her mental capacity is relatively small, parents should be patient, give the child more room to grow, when their brain differentiation is more clear, the body and mind are better integrated, this situation will naturally disappear.

2.Take your child to do more exercises to improve his visual ability. Stringing, beading, drawing, coloring, paper cutting, pinching plasticine, puzzles, building Lego, building blocks, etc. can all be effective exercises for visual ability, when children continue to practice the eye's cognition of various shapes, lines and space, his visual discrimination ability can be gradually exercised.

3.Take your child to exercise more. Exercise can improve spatial perception, let children learn balance, understand the various directions of up and down, left and right, and master the speed and slowness, distance and distance, high and low, etc., and the child's muscle strength, body flexibility, rhythm and rhythm will also be continuously improved in sports.

When these abilities are improved, the child's perception is strong, and the child's ability to write mirror characters can also be improved.
