  1. Do not exercise more than 15 minutes a day – this is quite enough for a child.

  3. Don't force - try to negotiate instead.
  4. Conduct the lesson in a playful manner – do not turn the lesson into a “must do”.
  5. Don't teach cursive letters - it may be too difficult for the child.
  6. Remember the importance of proper posture and stance - teach him how to hold a pencil correctly.
  7. Promote the development of fine motor skills.
