JMJ -
My daughter is currently homeschooled (for a variety of reasons) and my wife and I are teaching her cursive. I purchased a workbook for her that she uses and she practices in different ways. To be honest she had a good grasp of writing in cursive before we even began to teach her (she's a smart bugger).
I would like to buy her a fountain pen as a gift and also so she learns how they work and to slow down when she writes. She has seen my pens and likes them and has asked several times when I would buy her one. I have a Pilot Prera that I like as a daily driver (fine nib so I can write small and it's small so it fits in my pocket for work better) and I think that may be a good starter for her.
Has anyone else bought a fountain pen for their child? Any thoughts on pens that would good for kids? My daughter is 10 and is very responsible with delicate things.
