Q:
Need tips to help seven year old daughter with handwriting and attentiveness.
"I have three children, a 17 year step daughter, a 13 year old daughter and a 7 year old who is now in second grade. I need some tips on how to get her attention. My other two children are at the top of their class in all subjects but the seven year old is having problems with handwriting and just attentiveness. Thank You"

Hi Brock,
 
Sorry to hear that your seven year old is struggling with attentiveness and handwriting. Have you talked with her pediatrician about your concerns, to see if she may be suffering from Attention Deficit Disorder or another physical challenge impacting her success in school?
 
In addition to seeking professional counsel on the observations you've made about her attentiveness, you might consider trying to make learning more fun for her. Education.com has a variety of writing activities you could explore with her: http://www.education.com/activity/first-grade/writing/
 
I'm also including a link to an info center on Education.com that may offer you some additional insights for helping your daughter improve at her studies.
