Im doing the CACHE Diploma in Childcare and Education at college and i was wondering if anyone knows that name of the grasp for when a 5 - 6 year old holds a pen / pencil and what is the name of the grasp that adults use to hold a pen / pencil.
Any help would be very much appreciated,
thanks for your time and help :)

For 5-6 year olds it's called pincer grip, and for adults it's called precision grip. In primates, including humans and chimpanzees the thumb can move in all dirrections and is known as an opposable thumb. This helps with holding and manipulating objects in a hand. Another name for having these unique hands are prehensile hands.

i've got been given a great envelope with my acceptance as an undergrad. they frequently say it is a great envelope by using fact it is going to incorporate techniques concerning the college, housing, financing, and so forth. if the college is in simple terms sending a letter of acceptance, then that would for sure fit in a small envelope. so it relatively relies upon on the college. yet while i've got been given a great envelope, i might in all threat be greater excited than if i've got been given a small one. by the way, once I have been given standard to graduate college, i won e-mails. we are in a recession, inspite of each and every little thing.
