Do

Before a child can control fine motor tools for precise movements, it is important that they have strong and stable core muscles, an efficient grasp and solid overall hand strength. Once these are in place, activities and games can further develop the motor control necessary to produce small and precise actions with their fingers.

Other Common Handwriting Issues

For some children, learning to write is hard and may not come easily. Poor hand control and writing precision are one type of challenge. Target your child’s issues or be versed in all of the following common issues:

• Weak handwriting strokes (handwriting is light or hard to read).
• Weak grasp or insufficient hand strength.
• Too much hand pressure and easily fatigued.
