Even in the age of computers and typewritten words, students tend to write much more by hand than an average working professional would. But, speaking to Graphologist Sudhir Kove explains as children's personalities develop, they also begin to reflect in a child's handwriting. Graphology, the study and analysis of writing, can be applied in parenting to understand a child better. Each sample of the script is unique, like a thumbprint. Graphology is about symbology, which helps decode the writer's psyche via the symbolic formations your mind is making on the paper. Therefore, it's not wrong to say that your child's notebooks hold the key to their subconscious mind.
Graphology can be pretty helpful for positive parenting and gauging a child's development level. It can aid in detecting learning disabilities like dyslexia early and warn parents of any possible emotional or physical issues a child may have. While it's normal for a child's handwriting to change till their teen years, extreme changes such as a change in slant or writing too small letters can point to adverse changes in the emotional pattern of a child, indicating possible signs of discomfort, bullying and sexual abuse.
Children, primarily writing by hand instead of typing on a keypad or keyboard, will engage their minds more and mould their personalities. Thus, attention to detail is typical while a child learns to write. A new Norwegian study suggests that writing by hand improves children's learning capacity. The essay engages all hand muscles and enables the brain to encode further information as more areas in the brain get activated while writing by hand.
