​A GUIDE TO
​Various Domains of Development

PENCIL GRASP GUIDE

The way a child writes, is affected by the way they hold their tools for writing. It develops as the child grows, however some children may have a delay in these developments. It can greatly affect them as it can make them feel very tired during writing, exerting too much or too little strength on the paper, and affects their confidence when they struggle to match their speed of thought. They need guidance and support to help them develop them further.
