Children's Fine Motor Skills

Using a fork to eat, zipping up a sweatshirt and turning a doorknob are all things most people do without thinking, but children spend their early years developing and refining these abilities. They are known as fine motor skills,       1     the small muscles of the hands with adequate strength, dexterity (灵巧) and coordination   (协调) to grasp and control objects are used. It is firmly believed       2     later, fine motor skills do help children to succeed in school.     3     are also important in day-to-day life.

    4     (watch) a baby use their uncoordinated arms and legs might be adorable, but these early reactions are practice for the fine motor skills they'll eventually develop.     5     Stephanie Reich, a professor of the University of California, toddlers need to increase the coordination of fine movements in the preschool years.     6     children grow older, these fine motor skills will improve and become more complex. For example, a 4-year-old may hold a crayon with their fist, using their whole hand to draw. But five-year-olds can start using a pencil between the first and middle fingers and thumb, as adults can.

The elementary school years and beyond see     7     (advanced) fine motor skills, such as when children learn to tie shoes between 5 and 6 years old. At about age 7,     8     (improve) performance can be amazingly witnessed. However, every child develops at their own pace. If a single milestone, such as using eating utensils (餐具),     9     (delay), it isn't necessarily cause for concern.

In fact, when working on fine motor skills in the classroom, short lessons provide the most benefit for learning,. Play-based learning is also one of the strategies that are preferred. Teachers may also use hand-eye coordination - the ability of a child's eyes     10     (control) their hands and fingers - to work with children to improve fine motor skills. Using computers, especially a keyboard and mouse, also helps younger children with fine motor skills.
