According to babycenter.com, writing is a developmental skill that doesn't have a timetable. So even if your child takes time how to learn to, he could still be developmentally on track.
At 12 to 18 months, he may be able to hold a crayon or a fat pencil. He may be a scribbling master at 16 months. And later on at 26 to 30 months, bigger scribbles will look like figures and the one which looks like chicken scratches are attempts to write letters.
At around 3yrs.old or past his 3rd birthday, he may be able to write his name or some letters of it.
Winter is now 3 yrs. and 8 months old. I make letters as dotted lines so he can trace but he's still not interested. At the moment, his favorite scribbles are big circles with two small circles inside which would look like a face. He likes to color and scribble. And most of the time, he asks his kuya to draw cars, houses or anything for him to stare at. heehee :D
Children develop at different rates. And there's no need to put pressure on your child if he takes time.
