If the handwriting is very bad, it will be very difficult to read and understand. Its impact is known only in the exam. The main reason why many people get low marks even though they write the exam well is their handwriting.
In such a situation, many parents find it challenging to improve their children's handwriting. The reason is that children's attention is more on mobile and TV. And they won't even listen to what their parents say. Apart from this, children do not listen attentively even while writing.
In such a situation, there is a simple way to make your child's writing beautiful. That is pen practice. What is pen practice? Are you wondering what this is new?

Exercise to make your child's handwriting beautiful:
First, erase the rectangle on a piece of paper. Draw a triangle on either side of it. Then make a large circle in the triangle and take it to the other end. That is, move the pen around like a clock.
Do the same in the lower triangle.
