At What Age Do Children Develop Motor Coordination?
Motor coordination develops in a predictable sequence, although the exact age at which children achieve specific milestones can vary.
- Infants (0-12 months): Develop head control, rolling over, sitting, crawling, and beginning to walk. - Toddlers (1-3 years): Improve balance, start running, climbing stairs, and refine hand-eye coordination. - Preschoolers (3-5 years): Develop more complex skills like skipping, hopping, and improved hand dexterity for drawing and writing. - School-age Children (5-12 years): Continue to refine both gross and fine motor skills, becoming more adept at sports and intricate tasks.
