Generally speaking, children can start learning calligraphy when they are about 4-6 years old, but the key problem is that methods and teachers are very important. The learning environment of children's calligraphy and the guidance of a good teacher are very important, so the cultivation of children needs school education, family education and social education. The golden age for children to learn brush calligraphy is about 4-6 years old.

Children 1-3 years old belong to infancy, so it is not recommended to practice handwriting, because children's finger joints are immature in this period. If children are required to practice handwriting, it is easy to cause their fingers to deform. In addition, children haven't started to read, and practicing handwriting may be no different from scribbling, let alone sorting out writing tools themselves.

Children aged 4-6 belong to preschool, so it's time for them to go to kindergarten. At this time, children can take care of themselves, which is a critical period for preparing for writing. Children in this period have a strong defense against mold and a strong curiosity about new things, so it is necessary to guide children step by step at this time. This period is the best time to cultivate children's interest in calligraphy.

Children's preparation for learning calligraphy;

1, children need to prepare pens, inkstones and paper to learn calligraphy, among which there are many kinds of brushes. Beginners can choose Chinese brush or double-stranded brush, and the length of the brush is not less than 3 cm. Ordinary inkstone can be used to simply divide paper into wool paper and rice paper. Novices can choose some slightly porous raw materials to improve their ability to control ink color, and then slowly choose rice paper with higher permeability.

2. Popularize some historical stories of calligraphy, take children to some places of interest in calligraphy when traveling, cultivate children's interest in calligraphy, try to find one-on-one professional teachers, learn writing habits and pen-holding posture, and lay the foundation for subsequent calligraphy learning.

3, encourage more, appreciate more, writing is not quick, talent is important, but it still needs 99% persistence and effort, so encouragement is also the biggest motivation for children.
