What about High School, College, PWHL and NHL players?

Nurture Storytelling: Read regularly with your child and discuss the stories you read. This exposes them to different writing styles and vocabulary.

Provide Opportunities:  Offer fun opportunities to write, such as making shopping lists, keeping a journal, or writing letters with fun markers and paper.  

Focus on Creativity over Perfection:  Encourage the expression of ideas and provide positive feedback.  Focus on their progress rather than perfect spelling and grammar in the early stages, as writing can be tedious for young children.

Use Dictation: For children with great ideas but limited writing ability, offer to write down their stories as they tell them.  This validates their ideas and models the writing process.

Build Fine Motor Skills: Activities like playing with playdough, threading beads, or using finger paints can help build the hand muscles necessary for holding a pencil correctly and writing. (want to revise this as who plays with playdough these days).

Ultimately, every child develops at their own pace, and the key is providing a supportive and encouraging environment rather than forcing them to write at a specific age.
