How to prepare a child's hand for writing: effective neuropsychological exercises
To help your child successfully master the skill of writing, offer him several exercises aimed at developing the muscles of the hands and those parts of the brain that are “responsible” for the function of written speech.
For young children, games using cereals and legumes are suitable.
For example, you can transfer grains from one container to another, sift them, lay out paths or figures and patterns from the grains, throw them into a hole, etc.
Playing with a spinning top and a top will also be beneficial - both of these toys strengthen the hands and train the correct grip.
Try to buy kinetic sand, mosaics, lacing, construction sets.
Activities such as modeling and drawing, and later applique, are useful in the process of developing writing skills.
Pay enough attention to finger gymnastics. It is worth starting with hand massage. First, you need to massage the fingertips, then the phalanges, after which you need to stroke the hands and do light pinching. Rubbing the palms and wrists completes the gymnastics.
To help parents – massage balls and su-jok massagers.
Finally, don’t forget about a variety of finger games, thanks to which the fingers become more flexible and small movements become more coordinated.
