Know You Child Insights through Child Handwriting Therapy

It is not very easy to help kids going through emotionally troubled patches in their lives. How can child handwriting therapy get insights of what’s happening in child behaviour.

For adults involved in taking care of the well-being of such disturbed children, it can prove to be a very frustrating and discouraging experience that despite doing one’s level best to be a source of love, support and encouragement, the child is not making any positive progress. The answer to this lies in the fact that children do not have the same powers of first of understanding and then articulating their feelings and experiences, and they tend to express their lack of emotional perception through various behavioral aberrations.

Child handwriting therapy is an excellent method of getting an insight into the issues that are troubling a young mind and then work towards alleviating the cause of disturbance. Handwriting therapy is formally known as Graphotherapy. Graphotherapy refers to the science of reviewing a handwriting sample and making assessments about the personality of the writer and then guiding the writer to making positive modifications in his or her personality through slight modifications to the style of writing or working on various patterns and motifs repeatedly. In other words, Graphotherapy helps to rework a child’s personality through specific repetitive, small micro-movements of the fingers, which in turn affects the neural pathways inside the brain.

Child handwriting therapy has been proven to help kids. In fact, in most cases it has been found that kids actually experience a sense of relief and engagement when a Graphotherapist is able to deduct an issue from the child’s handwriting samples and bring it up in a sympathetic manner for discussion.

For parents and teachers too, this form of therapy is a boon because it helps to understand their children or students, even where they do not express themselves openly and verbally. Many a times, child handwriting therapy has successfully identify worrisome trends in the kids’ personalities and then been able to help kids and their parents to work together to overcome these negativities which might have hampered their well-being and adult lives.

On the positive side, child handwriting therapy helps kids identify the strengths in their personalities and also their aptitudes thereby enabling kids to identify professions and fields in which they may be successful when they grow up. This helps the kids and their parents to identify suitable academic courses to take up, so that the kids are professionally successful and personally fulfilled as adults.
