Thanks so much, guys! We've tried, still trying different grips. Will try the typing typing programmes, pant pant.

Nan, I like what you said about you being allowed bad handwriting wink . I'm in finance and my son says, "obviously, adults have bad handwriting too" after seeing a sample of mine blush.

Grinity, I've never been able to make him trace anything, which is probably why his handwriting is so bad. These days, he gets to write a little paragraph or letter, or whatever he wants. But he wants it ever more rarely. Gonna put on my salesman hat and start to hardsell from next week, *gritting my teeth in determination*.
