Children's behaviors such as writing, eating with spoons and chopsticks, and holding things require good and fine movements to complete. The development of fine movements is also an important prerequisite for children to be self-reliant. Fine movements can stimulate the brain to promote intellectual development and improve children's hand-eye coordination ability, so fine movements are equally important for ordinary children and autistic children.

Family Training Diary

Xiaomi is helping my mother squeeze toothpaste and unscrew the toothpaste lid, but the toothpaste cannot be squeezed out, so I can only seek help from my mother. After lunch, when she was wearing beads with grandma, Xiaomi’s big thumb and index finger couldn’t pinch the beads, so she fell off as soon as she let go, so she held them in her hand and was anxious. So the mother prepared beans for the child to grab them in a bunch of beads, and asked the child to use his thumb and index finger to pick up the beans into the bowl.

What are fine movements? Fine motor ability refers to the ability of an individual to complete specific tasks mainly through the movement of small muscles or small muscle groups in the hands and fingers, and to perform various psychological activities such as perception and attention. It is an important prerequisite for early development and an important basis for subsequent activities.

The child in the case of

has some fine movements, but is not perfect. For example, the child can open the lid of the toothpaste, which means that the child has better flexibility in his fingers and wrists, but he cannot squeeze out the toothpaste. This is a manifestation of weak finger muscle strength. The flexibility of the thumb and index finger is also relatively weak.

The training prepared by parents for their children is also more targeted, which is very good. strengthens the training of children's weak parts, so that children can master these skills well is paving the way for their future. When a child does something well (in the case, unscrew the toothpaste lid), parents' encouragement is an important driving force for the child to maintain or improve. If you turn a blind eye to the achievements made by the child, the child will have no motivation to complete the task and get rewards.

Our suggestions

1, kneading

Through the kneading movement, you can exercise the child's hand muscle strength and the coordination ability of both hands. For example, kneading dough, first prepare a basin and some flour, and then give the child a small part of the flour. Parents demonstrate to the child and let the child imitate your movements. After kneading, we can "shape" the dough and turn it into a circle, a square, or a rectangle; it can also be made into various small animals and characters (mother and dad).

2. Press

For children with weak finger muscle strength, often doing "press" actions can exercise the strength of their children's fingers, such as pressing the switch at home, pressing the flush valve on the toilet; and pressing the buttons on toys and mobile phones. These are trainings that can be done in daily life.

3, tear

tear is a form in which children use their fingers to explore the surrounding environment, and can also stimulate their children's sense of touch. If the child likes to tear paper, parents use this interest to train their children, such as making a set of teaching aids, drawing a young lady on the hard cardboard, tearing her into strips to the child some soft paper (toilet paper, colored soft cardboard), and then the parents apply glue on the painting and ask the child to put clothes and hair on the sister.

4, peeling

Through peeling, children can develop hand-eye coordination, hand collaboration and finger flexibility. Peeling eggs is a good way. Take an egg and let the child explore freely and find a way. When the child can finish peeling eggs independently, parents should not intervene too much, nor should they worry that they have not peeled them clean or the potholes they peeled. Just tell the child that it is enough to throw the eggshell into the trash can. In addition to peeling eggs, peeling peanuts, peeling melon seeds, peeling grape skins, and banana peels are all good training methods.

5, repair

Every boy is a repairman, but real tools are dangerous for children. Parents can buy some simulated toolbox toys. The electric drill, hammer, and screwdriver inside are all loved by children. Let the children twist the screws and knock the nails. During the play, they not only exercise the ability of their hands to cooperate and cooperate, but also exercise the strength of their wrists.
