Started the day out right by getting the son to write hiragana characters. It has been sadly collecting dust in a desolate corner of my room owing to me placing emphasis on other subjects. But since my parents-in-law are in town, writing hiragana characters seems as perfect an opportunity as any for him to hone his fine motor skills.
An epiphany came over me while I was watching him. Chinese characters require us to write several/many strokes while many hiragana characters only require us to use a single stroke. This is the kind of small detail that people miss out unless they have engaged themselves in both subjects within a short period of time.
