What is the best age for children to practice calligraphy?

First of all, writing is determined by the development of children's finger joint muscles and nerves, and children's physical development is far less than that of us adults.

Grade one to grade four: the best time to practice calligraphy

Before the age of 3, cultivate children's awareness of managing emotions.

Children under 3 years old have immature finger joints. If children are strongly required to practice calligraphy, it is likely to lead to the deformation of children's bones and affect their lives. During this period, teachers do not recommend learning to write. Parents and children should chat more, play games and tell stories.

Preschool for 4-5 years old: cultivate writing interest.

4-5 years old is the time when children go to kindergarten. This stage is to prepare for children to practice writing in the future, and it is also a key period to cultivate children's interest in writing.

For example:

Listen to some interesting stories about Chinese characters.

Try to draw straight lines and circles.

Do some Chinese character games

In the first grade, children also know a lot of Chinese characters, and they also have a certain understanding of Tian Zige. However, children's wrist strength is not enough, and writing is easy to fatigue. Therefore, first-grade children must control their writing time, preferably no more than 20 minutes. The teacher advised them to write according to the textbook every day and not to be greedy. As long as they make progress, it's good to stick to it. The most important thing is to build confidence.

Master the correct writing posture

Understand the force between the hand and the pen

In the second and third grades, when the child's body is well developed, he can begin to practice calligraphy formally. He must insist on horizontal and vertical, remember these four words, and don't lose points in the exam.
