Nothing comes easy when you are teaching or raising a
child. There are struggles in every step
of the process…from fine motor control, to behavior management. My parents would always say “raising and
teaching children is an art form.” There
are so many ways to teach a child any one skill. Many times, you must try several different
approaches to help a child learn. Today I have for you some must know tips for
every classroom or home that is helping a little person learn. Perhaps you have seen some of these ideas –
these are the most popular things people searched for. I hope they help you help the little people
in your life.
Need help
teaching a child to hold a scissors, try our friendly shark trick!
As a teacher, I have helped a lot of children learn how to
hold a scissors correctly. It can be difficult to teach a child how to hold scissors
correctly but I found a fun and easy method that children love. It is important to teach correct use of scissors
because you want the child to feel comfortable while cutting and secondly, if
the child holds the scissors correctly it makes using the scissors and cutting
well so much easier!
To teach the correct way to hold a scissors, you can have the
child pretend his/her dominant (writing/cutting) hand is a shark. Show the child how the dorsal fin of the
shark (your thumb) is pointed upward and swimming around… Fins up and swimming! Now that the fins are up/the thumb is
pointing upward, you are ready for the friendly shark!
Enjoy,
