A Weird But Wonderful
Pencil Grasp

Does your child hold the pencil between the index and middle fingers? Are you wondering whether it needs to get fixed?

You are not alone – lots of parents ask this question!

This “weird” adaptive pencil grasp is a lot more common than many people realize. Even Taylor Swift uses this grip, as do many adults who have painful or injured hands.

Holding the pencil between those two fingers creates a more stable base which makes it easier for the child to control the pencil for writing.

If you are wondering how to tell if this grip is a functional one for your child’s needs, or want to find out how adults with painful hands can benefit from using it, head on over and read my article today!
