You probably don’t think much about how you hold a pencil – you just pick one up and start writing. Seeing your toddler master the art of not only gripping a pencil (or crayon, pen or, horror, permanent marker!) but working out how to get it moving highlights just how tricky this process actually is. It can often look awkward or clumsy, which makes it tempting to ‘correct’ them, but when this feeling strikes try to hold yourself back!  

There is a reason they are working through this stage of uncomfortable-looking grips, so it’s important for you to know why it’s happening – and how to help them in the best possible way.
