[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thank you, all!  Some great suggestions and I hadn't thought about the fact that it's his artistic outlet (as obvious as it seems now to me).  I'll look into the pen and paper suggestions.  For those who asked about the problem, my worry is about the fixation on it.  It's not a preference, it's an all consuming activity.  Typical day when I get home includes him showing me his sheaf of cursive writing (yes, he goes to Montessori), asking me to go over words with him -- for some reason, "Hot Chocolate" is a favorite one because there are so many loops, asking if we can spend one *hour* writing before dinner and then putting his favorite sheets into a laminate sleeve so they don't get messed up.  His preschool teacher said she's not seen anything like this in 20 years.  But, there is no harm except that he misses out on playing outside sometimes or with his siblings, so I will not worry about redirection.  Thanks again for the suggestions and the perspective.
