From Crayons to Pencils

No matter where your child is in terms of hitting their developmental milestones - it’s often challenging to know when it’s time to step things up. One of my most frequently asked questions is,

“How do I know when my child is ready to start handwriting?”.

The answer to that question isn’t quite as cut and dry as we’d like it to be. As with every other skill, handwriting skills are best addressed when the child is developmentally ready to succeed. Some children are ready to start working on letters at very early ages (3+), while other children truly aren’t ready to start working on those skills until they reach school age.

While there is no simple answer, this guide will help you decide if your kiddo might be ready to take the next step.
