What would make a nine y/o revert back?

Question

My 9yo daughter has known how to tell left and right shoe since she was 4. Now all the sudden she insists that she cannot tell which is which. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Tell her that if she can't tell you will have to write a big L and a big R on her shoes. Or just fuss over her a lot, she maybe wants more attention.

Answer 2

doesnt wanna grow up

tell her shes got no choice

Answer 3

Just say "oh" and move on. The moment she wants to go out and do something I bet she remembers pretty fast.

Answer 4

By any chance does she have a younger sibling who can't tell her left shoe from her right?  It may be a sibling rivalry thing, where she's competing with the little one for your attention.

Answer 5

Probably a cry for attention. She acts like she doesn't know what shoe is witch one and you have to put them on her. Just wants mommy to fuss over her a little is all ^_^

Answer 6

she wants some attention. Or is it new shoes that are harder to tell. Put an L and an R on the bottom of the shoes

Answer 7

She might be doing this for attention or you need to dig into this a little further. As a parent we never want anything to be wrong with our children. Has she shown other signs of reverting or closing herself off to others.
