Your infant should be scribbling in her own book since she was 10 months. There should be a writing book on the floor that allows your baby to write when she wants to. I know that you are saying "what is this crazy lady saying how can a baby write".
This is called pre-writing skills allowing your baby to scribble. You should have a note book for her allowing your baby to scribble helps to develop the muscles in her fingers and her wrist . You will observe that the scribbles will be light when your baby just begins and as time goes on the marks will get darker as her muscles gets stronger. It is good to have a book as you can observe the development over time. These experiences are allowing your infant/toddler to get ready for writing. When your infant/toddler does not get these experiences before three years old she will have a difficult time writing as her muscles will not be developed. When the finger and wrist muscles are not developed before three years old your child will be referred for occupational therapy. This means that your child has a developmental delay. It is best to prevent these things as reverting to a stage that has been missed is very difficult. This is just one activity.
Sharing information and advice on the most critical time... The first 2000 Days. What are some things you can look out for and some activities you can do with infants/toddlers to get them through the various developmental milestones before they get to school. Also I will share information for the caregivers from age appropriate books to setting up classrooms.
