When is the best age for children to practice writing?

I think the best age for children to practice calligraphy is in the first grade of primary school (7 years old). At this time, children already have some concepts about words and can also recognize some words. But if you are younger, you can also let your children practice calligraphy, but it depends on their interest and whether they like it.

Parents really cannot force their children to practice calligraphy, and they must not transfer their parents’ will to their children, as this will cast a shadow on their children’s childhood. Parents should try to cultivate their children's interest in calligraphy. Here are a few methods that parents can try.

1. For some younger children (3-6 years old), parents can buy some pens, ink, paper, inkstones, water writing cloth, or hard-pen copybooks for children's enlightenment, so that the children can play freely. , writing and scribbling randomly with a pen, giving him a preliminary feeling of writing on paper with his own hand.

2. For older children (7 years old and above), you can take your children to participate in some children's calligraphy and painting exhibitions to cultivate their sense of beautiful fonts.

3. Take your children to participate in parent-child calligraphy and painting training camps, and let them spend more time with peers who are good at writing. After the children are affected, they will naturally become interested in writing.

4. It is recommended that children start with brush calligraphy. Learning brush calligraphy for a period of time will be of great help to children's hard-pen writing ability in the future. Because brushes and hard pens are connected, if some techniques of brush calligraphy are weakened and applied to hard pen calligraphy, children's learning results will be better. At the same time, brush calligraphy is a traditional Chinese culture. Learning brush calligraphy can help children better understand Chinese history.

5. Parents should practice calligraphy with their children and serve as role models. Parents should tell their children a truth through practical actions: "When you learn calligraphy, you will learn to persevere. Success is not achieved overnight, but is accumulated over time with perseverance." Let children cultivate perseverance and perseverance by practicing calligraphy.

Learn calligraphy and you will learn to persevere. Success is not achieved overnight, but is accumulated over time with perseverance.
