Spencer leads us in this conversation all about fingers! We discuss finger dexterity, strength, and independence. This is important for a variety of reasons, but most adults are very preoccupied with how this contributes to writing. Spencer breaks down the four different pencil grips and talks about ways we can encourage proper holds in a gentle way. We also list TONS of ways (20 ways by my count)to practice the fine motor skills used for writing besides just practicing with a pen or pencil. We talk about baby signing and finger painting. Spencer also goes through related milestones to reference what skills to be working on with your children.
