My 4yo boy loves to read but he doesn’t have any interest in writing and drawing. I think he takes after me. haha!

One trick I used is when my girl needs me to buy something for her, I ask her to write little notes to remind me. I tell her that mommy is very forgetful, so she must write it down, put it on my table to remind me

Boys may not like to write stories, they may prefer non-fiction books and general knowledge. For example, my boy learns the names of most of the countries in the world on his own. He likes to draw \"maps\", and write the names of countries, on his own initiative, and in the process, he practices writing.

Hello Mommies

I am unable to start new topic because of my KP$ and hence adding my question to the existing thread.
I am very much interested in enrolling my 7 year old son to cursive writing classes. I think he is already late in learning cursive and I can't delay it anymore. Its getting harder to teach at home with downloaded materials and books.
Tried hard to spot any such enrichment class that focus on cursive writing.

Does any of you know any such classes, please do let me know.

Thanks

Can't help on classes. Just wanted to say that 7yo sounds early to start cursive writing. I think they only start at around 9yo in the US and UK.

That’s a new information for me.

Many of his classmates can write in cursive now.
I will just let him give a try as he is the one seem to be interested. If can’t cope up will defer his classes.
If you come across any such class, please do drop a note here.
Thanks!
