WRITING (2 1/2 MONTHS to 4 YRS OLD)

S has been asking to learn how to write. Now, momma has been making an effort to teach her; first by using the Kumon tracing book and holding her pencil correctly.

Now, that she's learning to write her letters, she's often frustrated by her effort. She often says, "it doesn't look right," even though momma is impressed by her efforts. S has become so disheartened and frustrated by her attempts. Momma is surprised to see S's perfectionistic side stop her from trying.
