Tracking Motor Development
According to developmental experts, manual dexterity is directly tied to cognitive development. “It’s through her hands that your baby demonstrates the link between thought and action,” says Rhoda Erhardt, a pediatric occupational therapist in St. Paul who specializes in hand function. That’s why it’s important to track your child’s hand development and encourage her fine motor skills.
Between the ages of 12-18 months, your child will:
- Point to pictures in books
- Build a tower using 2 blocks
- Use her hands together to hold a toy at the middle of her body
- Scribble with a crayon
- Point with his pointer finger
- Hold her own cup and drink, with some spilling
- Feed himself using a spoon, with some spilling
- Remove his own socks
- Put her hat on her head

Tanulni együtt jó! Tanulni úgy jó, hogy elfelejtjük, hogy tanulunk, azt csináljuk, amit szeretünk, es közben “ránk ragad” egy csomó hasznos dolog is.
