This maybe because it is coinciding with an increase in handwriting expectations at his school. At this age education moves away from teaching &#039;how&#039; to write and concentrates more on &#039;what&#039; to write. He may be holding his pen tighter as he is concentrating on getting his thoughts down onto the paper. I would get him to try different pen and pencil styles. There are some really good ergonomically styled pencils that can reduce the need to grip so tightly. If he is writing in pen, I would avoid using a biro as this needs more muscle pressure placed not eh paper to push the ink out. He may find a rollerball or fountain pen more comfortable.]]></description>

Yes, I totally agree there are different types of hypermobility. Ehlers-Danlos affects people in many different ways, many have far greater issues than being able to hold a pen. I always advocate to see your GP and the NHS website is a good source of information too.]]></description>
