START WRITING
Prior to the act of writing itself, a number of plots, very important, which should work both family and school. The most important is to get a good psychomotor development, working the body schema so that the child grows day by day, gaining harmony, balance and movement coordination.
Certainly, at this stage, the child is already showing a side dominance that at no time should be handled by parents and by teachers. It is the child himself who is experiencing skills and will define their own choice, so it is very important that anyone involved in this field to not condition the choice for the child.
The next step will be to establish the lateral dominance child generally not be final before 6-7 years, because until then is rather vague total lateralization, which will be to establish the functional predominance of one side of the body (key) on the other (dominated). Various authors state that there are no strong preferences before 2 years and that between 2-3 years, a period of oscillations variables, mainly due to two causes states: fatigue and imitation.
During this period, the child is immersed within the school and have been showing their preferences, so there must be a systematic monitoring of its evolution, accompanied by appropriate techniques that allow her encounter with graphomotor it will correct and simple do not sit incorrectly or acquire bad habits which later will affect your writing. Back, arm, hand and head, as the instrumental: postural aspects are monitored both.
The movement of progression of left-handed child is from right to left; but to adapt to the scriptural standards should do from left to right, why work especially eye-hand coordination, for which, once made relevant evidence laterality, classify the child as his lateral dominance:
Once this dominance is established, coordinate eye and hand for the child not make investments or present further problems as mirror writing -Making writing from right side to the left, with inverted traits so that, It reflecting it in a mirror, and rightly read. Occasionally we can find ambidextrous children; are those that have the same ability in both hands. Another case is that of children who, being left-handed, have come to write with his right hand over his family or school pressure but for everyday activities such as brushing teeth, cut or comb, they are more skilled with the left hand, using it every time.
As for the type of writing, we note that, during the early years, it is desirable, especially in children with greater difficulty, the use of -tipográfica- script writing, to have this few simple features that will allow you to gain confidence and consistency in the layout. Subsequent cursive writing will be introduced, or linked, which will favor the speed. The problem of the union ceases to be when the child has good techniques and good movement of progression.
As handwriting and child therapists, our advice to parents and teachers will at all times remain vigilant, still inducers good techniques and refraining from opposing the lateral dominance child attempts.
