My 4yo DS is a lefty (both parents are right-handed). He has trouble gripping pencil and writing his name well-any toys/educational materials that can help him? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Get one of those pencil grip things. They are rubbery and go on to the end of the pencil. He may be still deciding "handedness." My DD waffled around with it until she was six yo, and now she's a right handed writer, of her own volition (meaning I had no influence on it) [ Reply | More
