How Core Strength Helps Handwriting
Handwriting is not just a hand skill — it relies heavily on core strength, posture, and shoulder stability. Without these foundations, children struggle with control, endurance, and comfort during writing tasks.
Why Core Strength Matters
- Supports upright sitting posture
- Improves shoulder stability for pencil control
- Reduces fatigue during table tasks
- Improves focus and attention
- Helps with controlled fine motor movement
