The goal of this handwriting activity is to consciously notice and adjust the pressure applied with the pen. Discuss with your child the difference between very strong and very weak pressure and find out together the optimal pen pressure for writing. Improving control over the pressure contributes to writing that is more fluent, enhances the quality of the script, and reduces the stress on the hand and finger joints.
