How Can Parents and Caregivers Support the Development of Fine Motor Skills?
Parents and caregivers play a pivotal role in the development of fine motor skills. They can encourage these skills through various activities:
Providing age-appropriate toys that require manipulation, such as blocks and puzzles. Encouraging activities that involve hand-eye coordination, like playing catch or threading beads. Offering opportunities for self-care tasks, such as dressing, feeding, and grooming. Engaging in art and craft activities that involve cutting, gluing, and coloring. Providing adaptive utensils or tools for children who may have difficulty with standard ones.
