Please consult with a medical professional if you suspect any medical or developmental issues with your child. This means their thumb, index and middle fingers should be on the pencil grip in the appropriate place.Again, it is best to have a professional Occupational Therapist assess which grips could be helpful for your child’s situation. It is sometimes not the best grip for children with small fingers or for those that push very hard with their fingers. Inefficient grasps are used as a child attempts to compensate for lack of stability, skill finger strength, and endurance.
