For parents
If your child still mixes b and d after a week, that is fine; many children take a month or two to fully separate them. Do not test under pressure. Practice writing the words 'bad' and 'dad' instead. Reading them aloud while writing locks the shape to the sound.
Circle first, then the tall line. The hand learns order, the eye learns shape. Trust the order.
