Signs

A sign that you might be doing something right as a parent:

A sign that the money you spent on "Learn to Letter" grooved writing tablets was worth it:
A sign that you might need to re-emphasize exactly what you mean when you say, "Go clean your room.":

What exactly is a grooved handwriting tablet? We could ALL use one in my house....

A grooved handwriting tablet has the letters printed out as grooves in the paper. The grooves serve as "guidelines"... the child can see and feel where the pencil should go in order to write the letter correctly, and which stroke they should do first. As they're writing, if they go outside the grooves, they can feel it.
