Here, I want to tell you clearly: don't teach your child to write before he is 6 years old.
Seeing this, you may be as anxious as I am: what should I do if my child falls behind in primary school? It is said that in grade 1~2, you have to write more than 800 Chinese characters.
Here, I want to explain to you that when I say not to teach writing, I don't mean that parents let their children do everything, but that primary schools must master writing skills. This is a natural road, not what we understand. When I was 4 years old and 5 years old, I put my child in front of my desk, bought him a calligraphy book with grooves and wrote a page every day.
What is the correct spelling? Today I will use an article to explain it to you.

Writing skills are self-care skills.
What is the relationship between self-care ability and writing ability? They all rely on the skills of fine hand movements, so practicing children's ability to button themselves and dress themselves is not only an important foundation for children to take care of themselves, but also an important foundation for their writing ability.
The development path of fine hand movements is in this order: grasping-reaching out-using a spoon-using chopsticks-doodling-writing. If your children have prepared for this sequence and they have written it, you really don't have to worry too much.

Chopsticks that are helpful for writing but neglected.
If your child is 5 years old, you should let him eat independently with chopsticks.
Why is it a good writing skill to train 5-year-old children to eat independently with chopsticks? Because mastering chopsticks is a very good exercise for fine hand movements. Moreover, eating for half an hour can exercise hand muscles 1.5 hours a day.
But if the child is five years old and can't eat with chopsticks independently, it will really miss too many good opportunities to "practice calligraphy".
You know, when you use chopsticks, you can affect more than 30 joints and 10 muscles of the human body, and the nerves in these joints and muscles are connected with the brain. You can use chopsticks well before school, and when you get to primary school, there will be a smooth transition between holding a pen and writing.
But unfortunately, many kindergartens now let children eat with spoons for fear of safety. Teaching children to use chopsticks still needs to be trained at home.
It is not only eating that can train children's writing ability, but also dressing, such as buttoning and tying shoelaces. These are life skills that require fine hand movements. However, these are difficult. Parents should be patient and explain to their children in detail through demonstrations, so that children can gradually acquire these skills.

Learn to write while playing games.
Children aged 3-4 can play some fine movements of beading and tearing paper. These two activities are very popular with children, and they also need some skills. Although it is challenging for children of this age, it is still within the children's ability.
Children aged 4~6, if the fine movements of their hands are weak, can start from origami to exercise the coordination and flexibility of their fingers; You can also let children cut paper with scissors, or let children play more finger games, such as shooting one at a time, or turning rope games, to enhance finger perception and coordination.

You can teach your children to write like this from the age of 6.
By the time the child is 6 years old, many parents will give the child a red book and a groove book as soon as they come up, and start writing according to the child. Before such professional training, there are actually many abilities to pave the way.
Montessori's method of teaching children to write has been circulating for nearly a hundred years and is worth learning. Her method is to let children feel the outline of words with their fingers first.
Parents can use some literacy cards to let their children directly feel the outline of words with their fingers, and then use some words with very similar shapes to the real thing, such as mountain, water, month, day, one, two, three, field and so on. Let children draw and write first to stimulate their interest in writing, and then go to Tian Zige to write according to their proper bookshelf structure.
In addition, when children are writing, parents must pay attention to the cultivation of children's correct sitting posture.
Finally, attach a more authoritative timetable for the development of children's self-care sports skills. You can compare and evaluate it. If your ability is insufficient, try to make up for it through practice before school. These are the best foundations for children's writing ability.
Writing mainly depends on the spatial perception of the brain and the fine movements of the hand. The cultivation of fine hand movements is a step-by-step process, which can not be practiced with a calligraphy class before going to school.
According to the research, the development of fine motor ability in kindergarten can highly predict children's reading, writing and math performance in primary school. This is because children who have difficulty in holding pens must pay more attention to specific writing actions, and their progress in recognizing complex words, reading comprehension and word pronunciation will be slower.
When you teach your children to practice Chinese characters, you must find the right method. Don't force children to write groove books as soon as they come up, which will damage their interest in Chinese characters. Without skill training to lay a good foundation, everything is in vain.
