Welcome Exceptional Parenting Podcast Listeners!

Hi there! I am so glad you came to my site from the Exceptional Parenting Podcast with Wendy Bertagnole. I really enjoyed chatting with Wendy and you all about the important topic of handwriting and fine motor skills.

There really is SO much we could have gotten into but we would have been talking for hours. So I wanted to make sure you still get lots of information to read through and find the best strategies, tips, and tools for supporting your child in handwriting and fine motor skills.

This will also give you access to my weekly child development newsletter where I share even more tips, tools and strategies for growing hands-on kids. 🙂

On The Farm Pre-Writing Packet and Fine Motor Skills Activity Packet

We also talked about this fine motor activity packet and a similar on-the-farm pre-writing packet that would go great with this. You can purchase both of these from my site and use them with your kids at home or in the classroom.

If you do sign up for the free fine motor checklists above, you will get a special offer on the fine motor packet once you subscribe, so make sure you do that first! 🙂

Handwriting and Pencil Grasp Resources

I talked some about the pencil grasp you want to look for in your student and child as they get older. Here they are pictured below. But I also have a detailed post on Pencil Grasp Development that will give you a developmentally appropriate look at this. You can also get these as a pencil grasp development handout HERE.
