There are many reasons your child's hand may hurt when writing. Typically, it is from decreased strength. The hard part is that the strength isn’t just from the hand. It is from the core, shoulder, forearm, wrist, and then hand. All of those areas need to get strengthened.
Learning how to write or how to improve your writing does not mean you need to sit and practice writing letters for hours at a time!
Dysgraphia is considered a specific learning disability and interestingly it is not really about handwriting. It’s a deficit the process of writing. It is not merely a poor end product or end result.
I had a really great question the other day from a parent who asked me if her child had difficulty with talking could occupational therapy help?
