The Secret to Good Handwriting Isn’t a Pencil. It’s a Playground.
When you see a child struggling to write, gripping the pencil awkwardly, letters tilting off the page; the solution seems obvious, doesn’t it? More practice. More worksheets. More time sitting still. But what if that’s exactly the wrong approach? Handwriting is sold to us as a quiet, seated skill. Something born from diligence and neatness.

Why do we do what we do?
Why do some mornings you feel full of energy and ready to conquer the world, while other days even getting out of bed feels like a struggle?
