How Can Parents and Caregivers Support Improved Coordination?
Parents and caregivers play a vital role in supporting a child's coordination development:
1. Provide a Safe Environment: Ensure the child has a safe space to explore and practice their motor skills. 2. Encourage Play: Engage children in activities that promote movement, such as playing with balls, riding tricycles, and climbing playground equipment. 3. Fine Motor Skills: Offer activities that enhance fine motor skills like drawing, building with blocks, and playing with playdough. 4. Physical Activities: Encourage participation in sports, dance, and other physical activities appropriate for the child's age. 5. Limit Screen Time: Excessive screen time can hinder physical activity and motor skill development.
