Correct posture of children holding pens

Cut short the nonsense and return to one's muttons.

It is common for children to write and hold pens incorrectly. The correct posture should be like this, as shown below (the picture comes from the network).

There are many articles and videos about writing posture on the Internet, and everyone knows more or less the harm of wrong posture. But many parents are not aware of the specific hazards. Let me talk about the core issue here.

The pen holding posture, whether hard or soft, needs to be "virtual" to control the pen flexibly. Let me show you.

From the animation, we can see that "Empty Palm" can maximize the range of control pens, the strokes can be written very long, and the control of pens becomes very flexible. If you don't do it, the strokes are easily restricted. The picture below shows the posture of a student I just admitted. This posture is not "empty fingers" (the child in the picture clenched his fist).

Of course, among all the pen-holding postures, the most harmful is to hook the wrist, and it is difficult for children who hook the wrist to write this stroke well.

Children's wrong pen holding posture makes many parents feel headache and helpless, and no matter how to correct it, it can't be changed. Indeed, once the wrong pen holding posture is formed, it is really difficult to correct it. So, once again, if your child is very young, you must pay the highest attention to the pen holding posture.

If you hold the pen incorrectly, is there no solution? Of course not. The following steps are for your reference (effective).

First of all, parents and children must realize the harm of wrong posture. In fact, as long as you tell your child, it makes sense.

Secondly, tell children that every time they pick up a pen, they should think about whether their posture is correct. If you feel uncomfortable holding the pen (you don't feel any discomfort), your posture is probably wrong. Parents also need real-time supervision, more affirmation and more encouragement.

Third, start with practicing pen control. Two days before correction, especially the first day, you will feel very uncomfortable (uncomfortable) because your hands are not hard. In order to correct yourself, you can start from practicing pen control, and you can write and draw horizontally, vertically, skimming, pressing, folding horizontally, vertically bending hooks, oblique hooks and so on. On the paper at will, in order to make our fingers exert themselves, it is called "strength training". You can practice 6-8 sessions every day for 20 minutes, as shown below (at first, you can even be more casual, draw lines on paper and draw various lines at will, in order to practice "strength")
