6- 12 years old: the best time to practice calligraphy.
In the first grade, children also know many relatively simple Chinese characters and have a certain understanding of the structure of Chinese characters. However, due to the lack of wrist strength, children will feel tired after writing for a while, so the time for practicing Chinese characters in grade one should not be too long, and it is best to control the time for practicing Chinese characters within 20 minutes every day. It is suggested to build children's confidence by starting with the simple contents of three amethysts, disciples' rules and Tang poems.
By the second and third grades, the development of children's arm muscles and knuckles has been basically sound, with a horizontal and vertical understanding. Their wrists are strong and they don't often feel tired. Therefore, this period is the most suitable period for children to formally start practicing calligraphy. Parents are advised to choose a set of regular script fonts for their children and practice them every day. However, practicing calligraphy is a boring thing after all, and it is difficult for children to persist. Parents had better practice calligraphy with their children to enhance their confidence and motivation.
