Helping Your Toddler With His Motor Skills

As everyone knows, toddlers are always on the move and full of
energy. While normal play is a natural stage in the development
of your child's gross motor skills, you may also need to have
him participate in activities that can help to tune in his fine
motor skills.

Gross motor skills are those that involve basic movements, such
as walking and jumping. Fine motor skills are those that deal
with the small movements that are executed with precision and
usually involve the fingers, hands, and wrists. One way that you
can help your child to develop these skills is to play with
building blocks. By stacking these items, your child will learn
to carefully place one block on top of the other. This exercise
can also help to build his decision-making skills, as he will
need to plan how to place the blocks to build the design that he
wants.
