DS1 is 7 and in year 3
He's having a few problems at school atm and I'm in and out of meetings trying to sort some things out
I feel the problem is the teacher more than DS but I'm really trying to cooperate and move things forward
One of the things that keeps coming up is DS's writing
Basically if you ask him something he can answer you perfectly, but ask him to write it down and he's off to fairyland and can't get anything to paper
I've asked DS if there's a problem and he says it's boring (obviously!) but also that writing too much hurts his hand (he shown me specifically where and I do believe him, I don't think it's an excuse)
So I'm wondering if there are any exercises or tools or anything we can do at home to help strengthen his hand muscles so he could keep writing for longer periods?
I also thought if he needed a break from writing in school but was doing some exercises then it'll keep him on task too and he won't just stop writing and stare into space
Any tips would be really appreciated
