Good luck.
Good luck Wei-l
Nice that they are willing to do something, typing can be a long way away in kindy...
I think that a little 'torture' of this kind can strengthed this weaknesses - one nice thing about sending one's child to school is that the teachers tend to have a little more stamina for this sort of thing than I would at home.
Maybe your son will 'turn a corner' and start loving cursive - I hope so anyway.

My son got fascinated with a game called 'wall ball' during recess and his depth perception went from 4th percentile to 60th percentile - that's a big jump. I think his Intensity helped him there!
