Patient's question:
The child writes slowly but writes well. Their writing speed is too slow, and they can't keep up with their classmates. Every time they take a test, they can't finish the exam paper. How can they practice writing faster?Doctor's answer:
Due to the child's slow writing speed developed from daily practice, it is natural that they cannot complete the task within the specified time. It is recommended that you relax and gradually increase the speed based on the principle of "good and slow." Utilize the "challenge method" to encourage the child to improve their writing speed. For example, parents can create a schedule for completing homework. First, record the time it takes for the child to complete the first assignment. When the child completes the homework a second time, the parent should motivate them by highlighting that their time was shorter than the first time. Over time, the child's writing speed will naturally improve without realizing it. In summary, there are reasons behind the child's slow writing speed, and parents must be patient in guiding them. Never lose your temper with the child. The louder the parent shouts, the slower the child will write.
