Recognizing the significance of fostering our children’s physical, intellectual, and emotional growth is crucial. When considering developmental milestones, the focus is often on language acquisition or proficiency in subjects like reading and math. However, it is equally vital to prioritize the cultivation of motor skills to ensure the well-rounded and active development of our little ones.
Motor skills encompass the abilities that enable us to execute both large and small movements using various body parts. Mastering these fundamental movement patterns grants children independence and lays the foundation for more intricate fine motor skills, such as drawing, and gross motor activities, like running.
The good news is that you don’t need fancy gadgets or expensive toys to develop these skills. Occupational therapist Purvi Gandhi recommends simple household items for activities that enhance both fine and gross motor skills. Must try!
