Working on pencil grasp and handwriting might be easier than you think using tools from around your home. Have a look at these items and the link below for practice ideas that can be built in through play.

Handwriting tools you may not think of...
✅Toothpicks- Use them to promote a refined grasp. Poke into paper, cardboard, or to drop into a container with a small opening such as a spice bottle.

✅Pushpins- Promote a tripod grasp with separation of the sides of the hand. Push into a bulletin board (make HOLE letters on paper!) and promote an extended wrist.

✅Rubber bands- Use them to build up a DIY pencil grasp on pencils, crayons, and markers.

✅Clothes pins- Pinch one on a pencil to encourage separation of the sides of the hand when holding a pencil.

✅Buttons- Tuck one into the palm of the hand and hold it there with the pinkie and ring fingers to promote a separation of the sides of the hand when writing.

✅Golf Pencil- Use this to encourage a functional grasp, pulling fingers down toward the point of the pencil.

How would you use these 6 items to work on pencil grasp & handwriting???

Come experience it for yourself.

Parenting is hard work—and in moments of frustration, it can be easy to jump straight to correcting behaviour. But connection is the foundation for trust, communication and positive change.

When emotions are running high, try slowing down and connecting first. Acknowledge what your teen may be feeling, listen without immediately trying to fix the situation, and help them find a calmer place before problem-solving together.

Connect first. Guide second. Sometimes a small moment of understanding can make a big difference. ❤️
