DearWelcome to ChatDoctorWe understand your concerns went through your details. Child Chat Doctor.  Schools use play-games-teaching methods because of this fact. This never means attention deficit disorder. This simply means that the child needs to be given tasks in which she will be able to enjoy herself more. You should consult a pediatric orthopedic to diagnose the ankle turning problem. All the other symptoms you mention here are common for a 5-year-old child. Writing backward is normal for a bored child. Road sense never come to a 5-year-old child and is totally dependent on training. I request you, please understand your child. She is a child. She grows on your cues. Play with her, guide her, don't teach her. Educate her playfully. Be with her when she needs your guidance. You may consult a child psychologist for behavioral assessment.
