$80 for a workbook, ouch. I dropped $60 on one of those "Calligraphy for Dummies" kits and my handwriting still looks like a toddler on a sugar high traced it with their non-dominant hand. Honestly, what actually helped me was just slowing down and writing in block letters for a week. Like, every single thing I wrote, even grocery lists, I forced myself to print perfectly. It was annoying and slow at first, but it rewired my brain a bit. After that, when I went back to cursive, the shapes just came out way cleaner without all that tracing nonsense. Maybe try ditching the workbook and just do a few lines of your own stuff real slow for a while.

Wait she had 30 grams of sugar in one protein bar? That's basically a candy bar.

Totally fits the pattern of people blaming new tech for stuff that's been around forever, same vibes as folks swearing WiFi gives them brain fog but forgetting they stare at screens 12 hours a day.
