Fine Motor Skills

Home - http://www.twothoughts.com

In the last days I have read and thought about motor skills, an area divided into two ares, fine motor skills, like playing with lego, and gross motor skills as jumping around with friends in the woods.

Fine motor development may seem of bigger interest but since it depends on the gross development there is an interest for both. The reason is because there are children here and there, more than we think of that may have difficulties, movement disorders or other learning disabilities. Therefore many parents seek advice since they care for their child.

These children need extra support, need to feel joy and support even though they are not (yet) so very skilled which they may become in some way or another. Some children with special gifts aren´t like all other children first so with love and support they may show later on, how things can change, and how much they really have to give. In a way that wasn´t obvious first.

And since most people go through the "normal" learning process, they have more learning potential. Do you remember the feeling of fascination and exploring as a child, to find out about thing, doing things. Why not doing some of that again?
You can, pich any interest you would like to explore and give a chance. If you do it, you will see you can do new things again, it will make you feel better!

I am trying to collect material to write about in this field so hopefully I can get back to it in a short time.
