Pediatrician 's  Response
Thanks for the query.
It may be the case learning disability like dysgraphia (difficulty in writing).
Learning disabilities in writing can involve the physical act of writing or the mental activity of comprehending and synthesizing information.
A few people with dysgraphia lack only the fine-motor coordination to produce legible handwriting, but some may have a physical tremor that intereferes with writing.
Muscle training and over-learning good techniques are both critical for the remediation of dysgraphia.
Should people with dysgraphia use cursive writing.
Emotional and psycological support.
Hope i helped you.
I find this answer helpful
