Answer #1

Educators have been observing Joey (aged 4) for two weeks during experiences. Whilst observing Joey, educators have seen Joey having some difficulties picking up and using writing utensils and using them correctly with his preferred hand. Educators believe speaking with Joey’s parents about ways to help Joey to correctly use a pencil is the best way to help Joey.

Educators have planned a meeting, at time that suites both the family and the educators to discuss Joey’s development. The meeting has been planned at 10:00 am, so everyone is not tired and are attentive to the conversation.

E. Good morning Mr and Mrs Smith, how are you both today?

E. We have called you in for this meeting to discuss things educators have observed in Joey’s development.

E. When observing Joey during free play, through a range of different experiences, educators have seen Joey having some difficulties in picking writing utensils up and using them correctly with his preferred hand.

E. Just yesterday, we set up a crayon drawing experience. Joey showed us that he was interested in drawing, but got frustrated when he couldn’t place the crayon correctly in his hand and draw what he wanted.

E. We wanted to bring this to your attention and discuss ways we can work together to help Joey be able to use writing utensils correctly.

E. At home, does Joey show interest in drawing, using different writing utensils?

P. Yes, he does. Every day he asks can he do some drawing. When we provide him with a range of utensils such as pens, pencils and crayons, he always prefers to use the thinner pencils.

E. We then provided Joey with a thinner crayon and placed a finger grip on the pencil and we helped him get a strong understanding of how to use the grip correctly, he seemed to have fewer difficulties using the thinner crayon. Have you tried this method at home before? Do you guys do anything with Joey at home to help him with holding the writing utensils properly?

P. We hadn’t actually thought of trying a finger grip to help Joey hold the pencil in the correct way. We definitely would like to try this at home to assist Joey in continuing his writing development. We make sure that when Joey asks to draw, that we provide him with a range of sized utensils for him to choose and we encourage him to try them all before deciding what one he actually wants to use.

P. We are so thankful that we have had this discussion with you all and that we are all on the same page in assisting Joey with his writing utensil development.

E. If we see any other concerns or improvements, we will be sure to contact you again. Feel free to speak with us whenever you need. We encourage you to keep an eye on Joey's development at home and keep us in the loop about the things you see.

In the above I used abbreviations "E" - which donates educators and "P" donates parents.
