Truth is, we'll have very little time together and I'm not sure how much of a quality time it will be after his full day of school. I'm hoping to develop his grasp more this summer and am working on developing his muscles even more but we'll see. The tripod exercises we did during last school year were becoming a bit tiresome to him; too easy it seemed so that why I am unsure whether they'll be more than a handful but I'll definitely consider anything that might help. :) Thanks for your input! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16286098109706338772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6145288861226756862.post-58012175759411983602013-07-23T14:22:58.770-07:002013-07-23T14:22:58.770-07:00Sounds like a plan!

Some of the practical life activities might be important to keep in (those that help the grasp) so he can continue to develop that skill, which will make writing much easier. From what we've learned with our kiddos, it's all about muscle development and if the muscle isn't fully developed and strengthened the grasp won't come. This is what we've been taught, and of course you know your son best. :) Another idea might be to only let him write with broken crayons as it forces him to only use his pincher fingers because there's not room for anything else. (One of my kids' therapists taught us that.) Can't wait to see all of your activities to come!Every Star Is Differenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07638575103764627880noreply@blogger.com
