Tips For Assisting With Motor Skills In Children NY Parents Can Employ Easily

By Raymond Allen


It's not unusual for new parents to be anxious about their babies reaching certain levels of development on schedule. In most cases it will happen whether or not the parents do anything to help it along. It doesn't hurt anything however, and is often useful, when parents employ some of the exercises designed for assisting with motor skills in children NY experts say can be effective.

The importance of well developed fine motor skills really can't be overstated. They make independence a possibility. The dexterity with which one can use her hands is crucial. It involves coordination, control, and strength. Developing these is even more important for the preschool child than learning to count or being able to recite the alphabet. Without them a child will be unable to write or function competently in physical activities.

Parents can introduce some games and exercises that will help kids develop hand eye coordination. Even kids who are barely toddling around can begin to learn. Most will clap hands with encouragement, and love playing pat-a-cake. You can teach them to touch fingers with you and to use their fingers to find their mouths, eyes, and noses. These are hand related exercises that develop control and coordination.

Young preschool children can start to stack blocks, be taught how buttons work, and zip up zippers. They have the dexterity to complete simple puzzles and color using over sized crayons and coloring books that have simple characters and forms. They ought to have the ability to draw triangles and circles. Drawing straight lines and pasting things to paper require the kind of dexterity and control possible for preschool kids.

If your child is surrounded by certain materials she will become much more dexterous fairly quickly. Tinker toys are great, as are crayons and markers, building blocks, sewing cards, and magnetic blocks. Almost all youngsters of this age love to play with shovels, pails, sifters, water toys, and big puzzles, as well as other sand toys.

You do not have to spend an inordinate amount of money on special toys. Your child will have just as much fun, and get just as much finger exercise, learning to pick up cheerios using her thumb and forefinger and moving them from one cup to another. You can bury toys in the sandbox and let your little one explore the sand to find them and dig them out.

Stacking blocks is a great exercise that requires control of the hand and wrist. Very small kids need bigger blocks to maneuver. Once they get the hang of the big blocks, you can try introducing smaller ones. Experts say you should wait until your child is about two to introduce magnetic or interlocking blocks.

You don't want to make your child feel like she is under pressure to perform, or feel frustrated when she doesn't show an interest in coloring or can't stack the blocks easily. The important thing is that the two of you are spending time together. With patience the skill sets will come.
