Mom of a 10 yr old boy6 years ago
Q.

My son is 4 years old and he does not have a proper grip for holding a pen or pencil. He is using a very weird grip using all fingers. He is not bending his thumb. He keeps his thumb in extended position while holding a pencil. What should I do? Should I use speciality pencil grips available in the market?
