Question the premise that kids have trouble with fine motor skills.

Again this is an excuse, and it's Bull shit:

Max thanks for reigniting this post. Good stuff for sure. I never thought about getting down on the snow and moving the child's feet so they can feel the proper movements, but it makes sense and could help.
This forum continues to amaze me with all of the excellent insight and ideas. Thanks
