Jmo, the more they want to do that involves handwriting the better. �I assume it builds up stamina for handwriting because all you can do is practice. � My boy's handwriting is shrinking to fit the first grade workbook (not the good one you got, just a cheap one from a dept store). �At the same time I can't imagine telling him to copy his alphabet chart over and over on the kindergarten paper until he has good handwriting. �(especially not in a couple of years when he starts school). � I can give him a spelling lesson one day, various math lessons another day, copywork another day and his handwriting has gone from tracing to copying to now we're working on him writing without copying. � Ymmv I'm sure everyone's mileage varies. �I sometimes wonder what would happen if he went to a daycare? �I think he would play most of the day but do a worksheet or two most days, like he does now. �It would probably be a different worksheet only.
Maybe I'm not the one who should answer because I don't have THE ANSWER, just some thoughts on the subject.
