Did you hear some kids don’t have enough muscle strength to even hold a pencil?

Do you buy (believe) that?

Is this a problem for kids? or does it mean they have an advantage that we didn’t have when we were younger?

I never heard the saying about children don’t have enough muscles strength to even hold a pencil nowadays. And I don’t believe that cuz I just think they lose the muscle memory to hold a pen. Because they using ipad or iphone or any other modern technology machines. I think there are disadvantages and advantages about this thing. On the one hand they can learning more things via the ipad than when we were young. However on the other hand they spend too much time to playing with these modern technologies to lose the basic skills.
