Okay I won't sweat it too much...he seemed to pick up the "3 finger" grip quite easily and if that is acceptable then that's great...he was just tending to hold his crayons and textas in his fist like he was going to stab something and I thought he should be guided a bit. It's only something I've been doing for the last couple of months.

I love that driving analogy, that's awesome! Thank you!

I'm not teaching him writing or anything yet, the most I do is try and get him to draw shapes, and he likes to colour in pictures, but when I do start teaching him to write letters I'm going to print out a sample of Queensland's foundation handwriting. I've already been told not to teach him to write his name in capital letters because then his prep teacher will have to unteach that!
