What Causes Difficulty In Reading And Writing In A Child?
What might cause a 7 yr old to suddenly have difficulty writing/ forming letters, (almost as if she has forgotten how to form the letters) and have an odd grip on her pencil. Normally a good student, she is also saying she needs help reading and writing now and to get started ...
Thank you for asking at healthcaremagic. This is not a very common complaint in children and most of the times the first thing we would consider is if it is due to something stressing the child out, any sudden change or any event or overload.
Your child might have this due to stress and overload as explained and not any serious condition being the cause of it but it is safer to have her checked to rule out more important conditions. The doctor will examine the child, see how she is interacting and will have a better understanding of what is going on.
I hope this is helpful and answers to your question but please feel free to contact us if more clarification is needed.
Kind regards,
Dr Zotaj
