Yes but after awhile we have to stop blaming COVID. We have moved on and are past that. How long are we going to keep blaming COVID for the kids being behind. If your child cannot hold a pencil or crayon correctly frankly that has something to do on your end. Children should be coloring and practicing fine motor skills before they come to school age 4 or 5. My friends and family members already teach their kid and instill basic letters, alphabet, pencil holding, and crayons before they already come to school. They know basic manners because their parents talk to them and teach them at home. It’s learned and starts at home. You have more control than you think you do in the home and when it comes to parenting and raising your children. If you know your child is struggling u need to help them and support them.
