DS2 is a lovely little boy, very chatty, great physically, sociable etc, seems bright enough to me but for some reason he will not draw at all. He can just about do a circle but has never attempted a face or anything else recognisable. It is hard going to even persuade him to hold a crayon and mark a piece of paper. If he does he just scribbles all over it as quickly as possible as if to get the task over and done with. He quite likes glue-ing but seems to have taken against all things pen/pencil/crayon like. How can I help him without pressurising him to just have a little go at drawing? Or does it not matter? Anyone else's kids similar age and similarly disinclined to
p-p-pick up a pencil?!
