Drawing is a child's first means of expression and creativity. With mindful drawing as a meditation exercise and de-stressor, the person drawing will practice drawing with their non-dominant hand. You only need to focus on your paper, pencil, crayon, or other marker and let the drawing happen. You don't plan anything before you start and don't need to worry about making mistakes or having your drawing look a certain way. Mindfulness will ease stress and improve mental health.

the POWER of Cursive Writing Cursive handwriting will return this September to Ontario schools as a mandatory part of the curriculum. Why is it making a comeback now? Because, according to new research, not only does cursive increase the speed of writing, it also improves brain development. Learning is reinforced in the areas of thinking, language, and working memory. It is useful in developing spelling skills, helping children to recognize words when they read them later. Typing doesn't have the same effect on the brain, as it doesn't require the same fine motor skills and simultaneous activity.
What is the right age to start learning cursive? Cursive writing is usually recommended for children between the ages of 5 and upwards. It is essential for child development to help fine tune their motor skills and improves mental efficiency. So, forget the typing keyboards, and welcome back Cursive!
