MAJOR BLUNDER
Last week, Joy-Anna was criticized for her treatment of her youngest son in her family's YouTube vlog.
The TLC alum posted a video to show how much Gunner had grown since his birth in May.
She commented on his little baby rolls: "He's probably almost 15 pounds."
Austin, 29, was also in the video and seemed amazed at how big his son had gotten.
The video also showed the family enjoying a day at TopGolf.
However, eagle-eyed fans noticed a mistake in the video's title, which initially read: "GUNNAR IS HUGE!"
Joy-Anna had misspelled her newborn's name, although it has since been updated with the correct spelling.
FAN BACKLASH
One of her followers screenshot the blunder before it was corrected and posted it to a popular 19 Kids and Counting message board.
The thread flooded with comments from users scrutinizing Joy-Anna's parenting and accused her parents, Jim Bob and Michelle's decision to homeschool her as a child as the reason for the oversight.
One said: "Joy is a textbook case of a kid who would have benefitted greatly from the attention she could have received in public school, where any learning disability might well have been recognized and addressed.
"Her kitchen table 'education' simply failed her."
Another said: "I was just about to post this. While I definitely wouldn’t put it past Joy to misspell her own kid’s name."
The third said: "She’s done this at least one other time before, but must have eventually caught it."
A fourth said: "Bless Joy's heart. She clearly has a learning difference and would have benefitted greatly from a school environment, public or private that could have helped her."
HEALTH STRUGGLES
Joy-Anna recently revealed that her eldest son was struggling with his schoolwork, particularly with counting numbers and "the order of the letters."
The television star shared in a nearly 16-minute YouTube video: "We had him evaluated again. This time by a dyslexia tutor.
"Something I didn't know is that dyslexia is genetic. I've got it on my side of the family. Austin has it on his side of the family."
She continued: "Gideon has a high probability of having it. It's not like a bad thing. It's just different.
"They learn differently. People with dyslexia use the right side of their brain more than the left."
Joy-Anna worried: "If you just use a standard way of learning how to read, it tends to get a lot harder and longer process."

Gideon will spend about an hour with his tutor twice a week in the upcoming weeks.
The reality star expects her son to "start reading in about six to seven months."
