PARENT QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What age or skill level is appropriate?

Follow skills, not birthdays. Children often begin in preschool or early kindergarten, but readiness matters more than age.

Do they need to finish every page?

How long should practice sessions be?

No. Skip, shorten, repeat, or revisit pages as needed. Confidence matters more than completing pages in order.

How do I know when they’re ready for the next level?

Aim for 5–10 positive minutes, two or three times a week. Stop while the child remains comfortable and interested.

What if my child struggles?

Look for comfort with the current level’s skills, growing control, and willingness to try with less support. Introduce the next level gradually.

Pause, model one movement, use a larger surface or easier tool, and try again another day. Reduce the demand when frustration appears.

What should I praise?

Should they use crayons or pencils?

Praise effort, careful movements, persistence, and progress—not perfection.

Use the most comfortable tool. Short or triangular crayons can support an early grip; a thick pencil can work well when control improves.
