This section of the brain is responsible for movements. It is very important that you give your baby space to move around this will give her a chance to develop her muscles. Your baby's gross motor skills are very important , you will begin by giving your baby tummy time. This helps to develop the chest, neck, tummy and arm muscles. You should not have your baby in a play pen or a crib all day because your baby will not get a chance to develop her muscles.
Fine motor skills(small muscles) are very important these are the finger muscles ,the wrist and the eye muscles. You will need to give your baby activities and experiences that will develop those muscles. You need developmental toys, age appropriate books ,stringing tools, empty bottles with tops ,puzzles and a number of other experiences .Managing your body is the most important development during the stages birth to 3 years old. These shills are need for writing ,doing a puzzle etc.
If your baby gets to school and has not developed her fine motor skills she will be referred for occupational therapy.
