#bringbackthehandwriting

Which one of the two ‘Thankyou’ notes would you like better?

Did you know the Hindi word for Thankyou is ‘Dhanyawaad’ धन्यवाद !?

Handwriting is very personal, very powerful, and a beautiful expression of your thoughts. In the era of digital learning and technology-driven communication, it has often been ignored and forgotten.

This post is to emphasize why we need to #bringbackthehandwriting.

The emotion that a handwritten note brings out in a reader is very different from typed words. “As no two people are exactly the same, no two fingerprints, or handwriting samples, are exactly alike either.”

It has a strong connection to memory. Writing by hand tends to boost your ability to retain information, comprehend new ideas, and be more productive — with the added bonus of eliminating the distractions of your device.

For young kids, here are some proven methods to encourage writing:

  1. Ask for their help in preparing the shopping list.
  2. Ask them to write with fingers/sticks in sand.
  3. No kid ever said no to chalk on sidewalks.
  4. Write letters to far-away friends and relatives.
  5. Encourage your child to write their own books.
