Hello there! We’re back again today with some more great hand strengthening resources! We can’t wait to share our huge hand strength promotion with you in just a couple of days! Over the last few days, we’ve talked about how to tell if a child has hand muscle weakness and we’ve provided some fun ways to strengthen the hand muscles through everyday play. We’ve heard from a lot of you about how you’re seeing an influx of kids in your classrooms and therapy practices who demonstrate weakness in their hands. And today, we wanted to take a closer look at why that might be. Why is it that so many kids these days don’t have the hand strength they need to grasp their pencils correctly, to cut with scissors, and to open the packages in their lunches? Why do so many kids struggle with clothing fasteners and with other simple fine motor tasks throughout the day? We have some ideas about why this might be happening and that's what today's freebie is about. Click below to download... There’s no denying the importance of hand strength when it comes to healthy development for kids. That’s why we’re so excited to share a HUGE discount on our top hand strengthening resources - beginning on Friday! For one week only, we’ll be running an awesome hand strength promotion in honor of OT Month that you won’t want to miss! So stick around and keep an eye on your inbox for our next email!
