My child will not sit still long enough to practice writing.
- Here are a few suggestions;
1. Find a quiet location free of distractions like computer or television.
2. Hanging or pinning your child's finished work on the wall or
refrigerator door helps.
3. Allow your child to use whatever writing material he/she wants. Marker pens, color pencils, crayons, water colors.
