Pencil Holding

Ivy Ang Siow Kia:

Try this to train finger skills/strength: Get them to kneed doughs. You can play hiding and finding games with them using the dough. Hide something small like a coin: first ask him/her to kneed the dough, it can be play dough/ plaster cine/ or even blue tack, roll it into a tube, hide the items and ask him/her to find them digging into the doughs. This will help them to develope their motor skills while strengthening up their muscles. With this, they can control and hold the pencil properly.

i try buying dough and let him play. even make animal shape to attract him but he only play a while. He doesn't like playing with dough. Dunno why but now i get him to do writing, seems like there is improvement already. Have told him to do the 4 kumon book tracing and if teachers at childcare says good, will buy him a toy. seems to work. but i think will bring him to KKH to check just in case. At least next time, anything , i can rule that out
