When I was little I had a lot of trouble writing "the right way." I personally feel there is no right or wrong way to hold a pencil as long as the handwriting is neat. Mine, unfortunately, was very messy so I needed a change. The little grips and things that were added to pencils to help me learn to hold it "correctly" caused me some issues and I rebelled against it until third grade because I thought kids at my new school would make fun of me if I didn't.
