If you talk with any parent that have raised kids, they will tell you how fast children grow up. It seems like in just a blink of an eye they go from being newborn babies to entering their first year of middle school. It still amazes me at how fast these years with my kids have flown by and it makes me want to cherish all the times that we have left. I have little keepsake boxes filled with all their drawings and school work that I often look back at to remember all those younger years. But as my kids get older I want them to be able to look back at these years and remember the good times too. That’s why I’ve decided to give each of my kids their own special journal.
With this journal I hope that they can write down all the good things and even bad things that happen to them over this next year. Not only will this journal be a great way for them to capture all those special moments but it’s also going to help them with their handwriting. Handwriting is something that our society has taken for granted. With so many electronics that do the writing for us, there are many kids that can’t read cursive or even sign their own name. When I grew up, handwriting was a big deal. We didn’t have computers, texting or emails. When you wanted to send someone a message you had to write it down on a piece of paper and deliver it. Those days are a thing of the past. But Bic wants to help change that.
BIC knows that handwriting is so important because it helps foster creativity, critical thinking skills and it even helps boost confidence. That’s why BIC is on a mission to save it and they need your help.
Visit BICFightForYourWrite.com and sign the pledge to save handwriting and when you do you have the chance to win a $1,200 BIC Prize Pack to help your family write more at home.
Tips To Help Encourage Handwriting
- Purchase a journal for each of your kids so they can capture their own special school memories.
- Buy colorful and fun pencils like BIC Mechanical Pencils which always make writing more exciting and fun.
- Create a special place for your family designated for writing. Whether it’s a cozy chair or a desk, give your child a place they can go that’s quiet and where they are able to write away.
- Encourage and prompt your kids to write down special events, feelings or funny jokes they might have.
I encourage you to sign the pledge and spread the word to your family and friends! Handwriting is such an important thing and we need to make sure our kids don’t forget that.
