How to get my child to write

NAS69965

My child can scribble but still can't draw a circle, person or write

I show him what to do but he still can't imitate me. I've also bought wipe clean books, erasable sketch pads and a blackboard, but still doesn't help.

He understands how to hold the pencil, crayon etc the proper way but just can't write

Any help please

  • My son doesnt write. Not that he can't - he won't. Hates feel/ sound of pen/pencil on paper. Also just paper itself. As result handwriting is yrs behind his peers. Thank heavens for technology, as stick him near a computer and he will type to his hearts content. I did wonder if he had poor fine motor skills, but he can draw beautifully (if reluctantly) with great eye for fine detail.
