Age range start ti hold pen 'properly'  (12 Posts) shabbadab Wed
04-Jun-14 20:36:24  Just wondering what age range is normal for
this and if/when what age you should be concerned? My DS is 3.8
years and has always had minimal interest in crafts / drawing.
Many children I know of the same age can sort of write their
name, will sit and colour etc. We have a first writing type book
which he is startng to show a bit of interest in. Will try and
hold pen 'properly' when prompted sometimes but can get
undestandablt frustrated is I offer to show him and he's not in
the mood (don't want to push it too much?). Otherwise holds the
pen like he's going to stan someone!! Drawing wise just
scribbles. No interest in colouring between lines, signs of
drawing people etc. Literacy wise, he knows all his letters and
started to show an interest in reading (loves books), do no
concerns there. Is it just time thing or should I be concerned /
doing anything different?  JiltedJohnsJulie Wed 04-Jun-14
