Do you have nagging questions about your child's writing challenges that keep
popping up, like:

❓ Where do I even BEGIN?
❓ Why do their hands HURT when they write?
❓ What do I do when they just flat-out REFUSE to pick up a pencil?!

You're not alone. These are questions I hear ALL the time from parents just like you in my Helping Kids Write FB group of 5800 members.

💡 That’s Why I Created This Q&A Handbook

After 25+ years as a paediatric Occupational Therapist, I’ve compiled the answers to the top 5 most common, frustrating questions parents ask about writing struggles into ONE easy-to-follow guide where you'll get clear, brain-based answers I share every day in my work with families.


🔍 Inside Your Quick Start Writing Help Handbook, You’ll Learn:

✅ Question 1: Where do I ACTUALLY start? (Hint: It's likely NOT what you think!)
✅ Question 2: What activities truly help writing development?
✅ Question 3: How do I handle the refusal? What do I do when they won't even try?
✅ Question 4: Why are their hands getting sore or tired? (And what to do about it!)
✅ Question 5: Is pencil grasp the problem? (And how to approach it).

This handbook is informed by decades of working directly with kids and parents, based on understanding the root causes, and are often delightfully 'out-of-the-box' - because that's what leads to real, lasting change and helps kids choose writing from a place of joy and capability.
