My son is finally writing well

I had the same problem with my nephew. He was also not writing well. But later on we found that the way we taught him to write was totally different from the way the teachers at the school taught. Now he is writing very nicely.

Dear rubypatson, as a parent myself, I know that whatever we do for our children is all out of goodwill. Well, the fact that your son can write well at the age of only 4+, it's already quite an achievement. Me too, I have been trying to educate my children and sometimes they do need a little bit of pushing in order to sit down and write or learn something. But I am always patient and lenient with them. I don't get agitated when they forgot something they have leant half an hour ago. Try not to induce fear and dislike in your child about learning. Make the learning process as enjoyable as possible. I believe your son will be able to learn more in this way.

Let me see if I understand your discussion topic. You are happy that at under 5 years of age, your son is improving in his penmenship or ability to write? Is he even in school yet? He would not be here in the US and no one would be judging his penmenship at under 5. Every child is different and unique and it upsets me greatly that you get angry at your son for not mastering writing fast enough to please you. Shame on you for being so impatient! Fine motor skils such as writing can take time and it saddens me to hear that you get angry. Perhaps you meant to say frustrated rather than angry. You should praise his efforts and relax on your judgements of him. Every parent wants their child to succeed but you are pressuring him and that is a very bad lesson to be teaching him. No child at that age should feel pressured as it's likely to make them resent and hate school and learning. I certainly hope I misunderstood you and that you were simply worried that he might not be able to improve well enough for when he starts formal education.
