What to do if your child has bad handwriting: throw away the copybooks

14.03.2024 10:59

Bad handwriting can be caused by various reasons, including incorrect hand and body position, crooked posture, incorrect placement of the notebook on the desk, the quality of the pencil (pen), etc.

In addition, handwriting is affected (naturally, negatively) by a lack of motivation and undeveloped spatial perception.

Among all this diversity, I would like to highlight imperfect fine motor skills and weak hand muscles.

Therefore, instead of endlessly drawing sticks and hooks in copybooks, try to resort to the help of various exercises and activities aimed at developing fine motor skills and strengthening muscles.

Such activities include modeling, drawing, cutting, stringing beads and other activities that require working with small objects.

It is also useful to use special exercise machines for fingers and hands, which help strengthen muscles and improve coordination of movements.

Good handwriting also requires developing gross motor skills, which promote correct body position while writing and good posture.

Finally, take the time to play ball games – they strengthen your wrists and develop spatial perception, which is also important for developing beautiful handwriting.
