Guest guest Posted September 29, 2001 Report Share Posted September 29, 2001 My 11 yo old is still very behind in writing, more like a kindergartner or first grader, but until I started him on clo, B vitamins, magnesium/calcium/zinc he was completely unable to write. His writing was all over the page, in all different sizes and could not be read. We've had him using a spring-like clamp for strengthening his hand and he practices on the keyboard daily for about 15 min. At this point I'll be happy if he can sign his name and write enough to get by in a pinch, but use the keyboard well, which is more than I had hoped for before the vitamins and minerals.

I worry because writing is a major part of life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
