One needn't become proficient in all cursive writing to practice a signature. Our kids will use their signature on documents the rest of their lives, so it is something that they should work on a little bit at a time.

My son doesn't do well with cursive either, so we've abandoned the endeavor of learning to communicate in cursive and simply learn to sign his name.

It's such a tough road sometimes, isn't it?
