Same in Russia, to a lesser defgree. For pens\penls\forks\knives.
My grip was always 'right' but I clearly remember my father commenting every time he saw a person holding his tool the wrong way. To him me doing it the right way was like a little victory or something.
- simplegeek 7y agoWhat's the preferred grip taught in Russia?
- Grue3 7y agoI don't remember being taught how to grip a pen correctly. I'm pretty sure my grip is wrong too, since I developed a callus on my index finger from writing too much during school. FWIW I grip like "dynamic tripod grip" on "figure 3", except the thumb is perpendicular to the pen.
- konart 7y agoSomething like this: https://ds04.infourok.ru/uploads/ex/07fb/00195c5a-00265f89/640/img1.jpg https://ds04.infourok.ru/uploads/ex/07fb/00195c5a-00265f89/6... But general idea is that you have to do simple exercises with a kid before school so that a kid won't be just clenching a pen like they usually do with a spoon when they a small. We even have a short poem for breaks during such exercises. :D Something like this: We were writting, we were writting, Our fingers got all tired. Gonna get a little rest Then we'll pick from where we left.
- davchana 7y agoIn India Punjab, I learned to jold the pencil between thumb, index & middle finger. Imagine these three finger ends touching each other with ends at same plane, & touching from opposite of nails side. Now imagine a pencil between these three, with thumb & index fingers' opposite of nail side touching the pencil; & pencil resting on left of middle finger nail side.
