Just this week, I observed my grandaughter working on her cursive skills. She's only 6 yrs. old, but wants very badly to be able to do it. I consider that a very good sign, and I believe this skill needs to be passed on.
But she needs someone else to help her. Ever since I was diagnosed with ET, My cursive has been painfully laborious in order to even be legible!(at times I need to brace with my other hand.) The day could come that our keyboards are rendered useless.
It's an excellent skill to pass on. If she stays with it, by the time she's an adult she'll probably be one of the few that can actually use it. I still use cursive, and can actually write faster than printing.
