Even though you have may have been prohibiting the use of scissors with your child so far, probably the time has come to teach them how to use these important instruments. Scissors are essential in school craft and they are exercising devices to strengthen the child’s fingers. They also help the child improve their motor coordination. You cannot avoid scissors for your children forever, but when you teach them, you need to do it the right way the first time around.
▪ Preparation is important. Teaching a kid how to use scissors is a patient task and you have to make sure you won’t be distracted for at least an hour. Teach them only when they are most attentive or it will be a futile exercise.
▪ Select the right kinds of things to cut. Paper is best, but you must select different thickness levels and colors of paper. This will enable the child to realize that cutting with scissors does not always feel the same. The variety makes the exercise interesting for the kid.
▪ First, allow the child to touch the scissors. Of course, you have to supervise this. The child may possibly be paranoid about this instrument because it was hitherto prohibited for them, so you need to remove this common fear.
▪ Now is the time to teach them how to grasp the scissors. Gently, open their fingers and thumb and lead them into the right grips in the scissor. Children won’t be able to do this themselves at first, which is why you need to lead their fingers. Train them to hold it correctly.
▪ Then get a piece of paper – the softest one you have – and show them how to work the scissors on it. Lead their hands for a while. When they say they will do it themselves, allow them to do so.
▪ Bring in variety by changing the papers. Children are likely to take this as a game.
Soon, your child will learn how to use scissors. The precision will come later; initially, you should let them cut any way they can. And, it is always very important that you keep the scissors out of reach of the children when unsupervised. Once their possible phobia about scissors is gone, they might want to experiment with them a lot more than you think.
