The essential gestures, gathered thanks to my son
While helping my son prepare for his PIX certification, I realised something important:
some actions — simple once you know them — are actually never explained clearly.
So I started grouping these essential gestures:
the small fundamentals that make everything easier once you finally understand them.
These tips aren’t “for children”.
They aren’t “for beginners”.
They’re simply the basics I had to teach my son… and that many adults never had the chance to learn.
That’s why I created this tag:
a way to quickly find the most essential tips, fully integrated into the Misty’Tips catalogue.
