3.5 year old is lefty is having trouble figuring out how to hold the pencil. Think this is the root cause of a lot of frustration going to daycare - any suggestions on how we can help him? (No one is a left hander in my family)

As a left handed person, the best advice I received as a kid was instead of turning my hand , keep my hand straight and turn the notebook to one side. That way I can still hold my pen/ pencil normally and don’t need to bend my hand.

Try with your kid and see if it helps. It made is much easier for me write after that.

Using the left hand to write is wrong. Beat it out of him!!😜

On a serious note, I’d try what D1 said. Many lefties in my family across 3 generations (including me), and what D1 said is what we all do (outside the ones from my parents generation who were all force taught how to write with their right hand).

Have you tried giving him a pencil gripper? My 4 year old (albeit right handed) has the same issue and the gripper helps him position his fingers better
