Fine Motor Development Part 1




The Jason Miller Better Health Podcast show

Summary: I want to talk to you about one of the three main areas of development that we look at here at the clinic and that fine motor development. Fine motor development is important because the ability to use the smaller muscles in the hand allows children to perform self-care task without our help. Some of these tasks are brushing the teeth, eating and feeding themselves, writing neatly and dressing. Problems doing the Some of these tend to be indicative of fine motor weakness. But the good news is that there are some many very easy ways that you can help develop your child's fine motor skills. Number one is puzzles. Do a puzzle together with your child and encourage them as a guide the pieces to the right place. Another is a board game. Any game that involves rolling the dice is helpful. It takes more control than you realize to roll and have the dice land on the board correctly.
