Thank you ! ...Yes she has a funny way of holding her pencils , I tried to show her how I hold mine and I know the teachers in school has been trying too ... but she flat out refuses to change her grip ... she insists that this is the way she wants to hold it lol a stubborn little lady ... and I guess in the long run we all have our little quirks ... it is good for her drawing I think .. but it does not enhance writing ...
