Draw your world

how children how to hold a pencil while they draw and write with you. I worked with my son to help him develop the correct pencil grip when he was age three and same with my daughter. The first few days were challenging. The proper grip felt "funny" and he had less pencil control, but it wasn't long before we saw improvement. Whatever the age of the child, the following approach can be taken, just remember that it may take longer to change the habits of an older child.
