How to teach a child to hold a pen correctly: simple exercises - he will definitely like them
Fortunately for caring parents, if desired, today you can find a lot of exercises that will help your child learn to hold a pen correctly.
The most interesting and, of course, useful ones you will find in this article.
For the first exercise, place the pencil on the table with the lead down at a right angle. Let the child take the pencil with a pincer grip with three fingers (thumb, index and middle) slightly below the eraser at the end. The task is to slide the fingers down the pencil to the table and repeat this action several times.
Shading helps develop the correct grip. Ask your child to use different colors and move from left to right from the beginning to the end of the line.
For the next exercise, you will need to close the pads of your middle and thumb fingers, while keeping your index finger straight. Leave your ring finger and little finger free. The thumb of the palm faces up, and the bottom edge faces down. The task is to turn the palm over with the thumb down and grab a pen lying on the table using the index finger and the middle and thumb together.
Important condition: find a pen with edges and a rubber band in the grip area for this task.
Finally, we cannot fail to mention the importance of games with coils, cylinders and massage balls, as well as finger games, finger massage and neurogymnastics.
But there is no point in scolding your son or daughter for holding a pen incorrectly or writing awkwardly.
