Guest guest Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Does anyone have a take on whether to use a pencil holding training device vs. just letting them hold it the way it feels natural to them? My daughter 4.5 year old has a hard time holding pencils and utensils. She can write all of our names but it is hardly legible. She also has a hard time holding silverware properly. I have tried to teach her how to hold them properly, but I am afraid if I push her she will regress. Often she wants to make a fist and puts the pencil, crayon, pen or whatever in the center of her fist and write like that. She does like to scribble and when she colors she wants to stay in the lines but is all over the place. She holds the silverware the same except she tilts her wrist differently to eat.
