The great misconception of parents is that they consider it unnecessary to teach a child how to hold a pen correctly before school. In fact, you need to teach your baby how to hold pens, pencils and felt-tip pens correctly from the age of two and a half.
Instructions
Step 1
Special exercise handles can help your child learn to hold the handle correctly. They are of two types. The first device is a silicone fish that can be slipped over any pencil or pen. There are three finger grooves in the fins of this fish. It is almost impossible to pick up a fish incorrectly. No matter how the child places his fingers on the fish, they will fall into three special grooves and help fix this position of the fingers. The child needs to show once how to hold the handle with the fish in his hand, and then he will be able to use the simulator on his own. This simulator can be used by both preschoolers and children of primary school age. For the latter, this simulator will allow you to write beautifully, quickly and easily. And will provide excellent grades for calligraphy.
Step 2
Another type of pen trainers is made in the form of a triangular cone. These cones are made from rubber. They are worn on a pen or pencil, like a fish, and when writing the face of a cone, they help to keep the fingers in the correct position.
Step 3
Triangular colored pencils are made on the principle of a cone trainer. These are the best pencils you can choose for your little one. First, they are thick. Due to this, it is convenient for the child to hold them in his hand. Secondly, they are triangular. This allows you to hold the pencils correctly. Third, they are soft. The child does not need a lot of effort to paint over, draw, write.
Step 4
When a child is passionate about coloring and drawing, you should not pull it back and correct it again. Let him hold the pen and pencils as best he can. And in order to teach a child to hold a pen correctly, you need to buy children's recipes (not with letters, but with drawings and patterns), allocate time for joint activities with the child. And during these activities, constantly monitor and correct the child's fingers, showing that the correct position of the fingers allows you to perform tasks more accurately and accurately.
