Two lifts, four turns and six will sit, seven rolls and eight crawls and walks-this is a milestone in the baby's growth and development.
This is the development of the baby's gross motor ability, but today we are talking about the development of fine motor ability based on the big motor ability.
Individuals mainly rely on the movement of small muscles or small muscle groups in the hands and fingers, and the ability to complete specific tasks with the cooperation of perception, attention and other mental activities. It is not only an important aspect of the individual's early development, but also An important basis for the development of other aspects of the individual.
The development of fine motor is to develop the flexibility of the fingers, and the more flexible and agile finger movements also promote the development of intelligence and perceptual system. This is closely related. The term "handsmanship" is also the meaning of fine motor development. It is also one of the important indicators of baby's physical development.
1-2 months old:
newborn's fists are always tightly clenched, if your hand gently breaks his fingers apart and releases them again, he will clenched his fists reflexively. This grasping reflex will continue to 2 months of age.
suggestion: interact with your children more, touch their little hands, and play some interactive games with them to promote their arm movement development.
3-4 months old:
at this time the baby's small hands are no longer tightly held, you will find that his small hands are half-opened and closed, and occasionally they will hold and open by themselves. At first, he will unconsciously put his hand into his mouth, and if there is a toy in his hand, he will also put the toy into his mouth. Try all kinds of things he can see with his mouth to satisfy his curiosity.
suggestion: Parents can prepare some small toys for their children that they can hold with their hands, and they can also hang a small pompom in the stroller for the baby to grasp, which can exercise their grasping ability while also promoting the development of reflexes.
5-7 months of age:
During this period, the baby grasps objects mainly with the full palm, which is what we often call a large grasp, and it is a larger object. For smaller objects such as peas, it is still impossible to grasp, which will require higher finger flexibility. The baby can already sit by lean or even alone, which provides good conditions for fine motor training.
Suggestion: Teach children to play hand games, such as Funny Flying, the index fingers of the two palms are slowly aligned to one point to exercise the accuracy of the children's fingers.
8-9 months old:
this month old baby can not only accurately grasp the objects in front of him, but also can hit the tabletop with blocks, shake or throw toys out. The baby's fingers are more flexible and can use one of the fingers to make movements.
suggestion: Let the baby pinch small toys to make the fingers more flexible.
10-12 months: baby
grasps objects more accurately, and at the same time begins to use the distal end of the thumb and index finger to grasp small objects, such as grasping granular food. By the age of 12 months, the baby's hands have already learned to doodle and flip through books.
suggestion: Parents can draw different patterns on the paper with the baby's hand, and the baby will draw various circles and lines on the paper after getting familiar with it, that is, graffiti. Every time
talks about the topic of growth and development, there are always parents who worry about the development of the doll. What needs to be reminded here is that the development speed of each child is different. The time given above is only the time period that most babies can reach. Some babies may be earlier or later, which is normal.
In fact, children who are behind in the development of large motor movements tend to have slower fine motor development, because large motor development is the basis for fine motor development. Only when the baby can sit firmly and control the strength of the shoulders and arms well, can it be better. Good development of fine finger movements.
