Learning to sew might just improve your child's writing

Kids' clothes always seem to need a new button or patch. Teaching children to mend their clothes encourages them to take responsibility for them. And there's another plus: Your child also develops the small muscle coordination needed for writing neatly and easily. Demonstrate a sewing task, then let your child do a repair job on a piece of clothing. With practice, your elementary schooler will build skills and strengthen writing muscles.
