My son is four years and two months old, he is in middles class, he is interested in learning but when he is writing he write the first figures properly and he forgets how he wrote them. Im worried about this because idont know whether he will continue like this or he will improve.
His teachers keep telling that he is aclever boy.
In Bibb county(Georgia) students have through pre-k and kindergarten to learn how to write their letters. If they haven't mastered it by the 1st grade, they will be placed in a classroom where there is a second teacher who can help them(I know this because I am a retired teacher). I'm sure that he will be able to write all the words by the time he finishes kindergarten. Work on his letters some during the summer. Good luck
P. S
He's four...he's got plenty of time to work on his letter formation before you have to worry about it. Let him continue to explore ad he sees fit, don't correct him just model the letters properly when you sit and play with him. The last thig you want to do is take the joy out of learning and experimenting only to discourage his interest. Fine muscle development usually occurs later in boys than girls but it evens out, there large muscle development usually comes before. I'm sure that by the time he is required to write his name not just practice, but required, most likely 1st
grade, he'll have mastered it...and chances are he'll have mastered writing more than just his name :). Just keep fostering his interest with lot's of fun crayon work and tons of positive input on your part "I love how your r looks there, or silly faces in the o's you know keep him happy and laughing while he's "practicing" and he'll wanna "practice" all the time and he'll want you to guide him :)

Just watch him. He is really too young to worry about this yet. It is appropriate for him to have this kind of issue at this age. Think about it, it is a really heavy concept for little kids to learn that it matters how you put something on a the paper and that it is a totally differnet thing if you turn it around. A chair is still a chair if you hang it upside down, but a p is a q is a d is a b if you turn that around, very difficult for kids, and he is not really at a point where we expect them to get this, let alone have all the skills to copy and write independently. In the next two years, if it still persists, then explore your optiions, but for now, don't worry and capatialze on the fact that he can get the first letter right, and go back to practicing single letters. That is where he is, let him have some success.

He's very good for his age. Don't worry. Have him work on small motor control by doing lots of interesting things with his hands (cutting out paper shapes with safety scissors, play with play dough, string beads or pasta or cheerios on shoe laces, lacing boards, coloring with crayons and chalk). It all helps makes the hands strong and precise and helps with printing letters. They'll be working on letters in kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade.
