This year I'll be teaching little ones how to hold a
pencil. Does this need to be a major thing? Is how they
hold a pencil going to affect how their brain works
later? I'll teach them the correct way, but it's not a
battle I'm willing to fight for those who hold them
differently. as long as their writing is legible, Idon't
have a problem, but I don't want to be missing something
crucial developmentally!

What are your thoughts on this?
