She is fine. A lot of little ones struggle with the "tens". The irregularities of some of them make them harder. When you stimulate her, she remembers which is important. Forty, sixty, seventy and eighty are usually easier than 20, 30 and 90. She'll get it though, maybe try teaching her to count by 5s and 10s in memorizing, with the numbers on cards so that she sees it. You can also place macaroni on the table and let her play, counting pieces and such so she understands grouping.

She's only 4 years old . Let her be a child as there is plenty of time for pressured learning. Sounds like she is smart as she can already count so well (even if she does forget the multiples of 10). Just play with your child instead of trying to teach her something she is not up to learning yet.

It's too soon to be pushing counting up to 100. My child in 1st grade is just doing that at age 6! Focus on the alphabet first but the don't really start writing well until Kindergarten (age 5). Don't stress your child with academics right now. They learn through play, not through rote memorization. Is she in preschool? Socialization is more important at this age.

Most 4 year old can't count to 100 so she's advanced. My 3 year old gets up to 20 but he's decided eleventeen is a number. : ) I applaud you for working so hard with her but don't come down on her. she's ahead of the game and she will be more consistent the more you practice especially if you make it fun for her.

I've seen that in every four year old! Does she say 20-10 instead of skipping to thirty? Totally normal! She'll get the hang of it soon!

There is no problem! 4 year olds should be able to remember most of everything up to 20, anything more than that is just hit or miss!

She's 4 years old, give her a bit of a break. If she can get through most of it and only forgetting some numbers, I think she's doing great. With age comes better memory.

She's fine. My 5 year old was doing this, and all of a sudden she can count to 130. Things just click differently at different times.
