Is it now impossible do you think? He gets really annoyed with me when I try to get him to hold his pen properly. I spoke to someone with older children at his school and she said the school dont really seem to bother to correct them and her dc have poor pen grip too. I bought him special grips to put on the end of his pen and he doesnt mind using them. But as soon as he holds a normal pen he is back to the poor grip again. Do you think its not really worth worrying about? Will they all be typing their work anyway soon enough?
Any tips gratefully received!
