Developing Fine and Gross Motor Skills: Birth to Three

Here is an exciting home exercise program for children ages birth to 3 years, containing dozens of beautifully illustrated, reproducible handouts for parents, as well as for therapists and healthcare and child workers.  Each interval of 3 or 6 months in the child's development is divided into a fine and gross motor section.  In each section several exrcise sheets guide parents or other caregivers in ways to develop specific motor skills typical of that age level.

 

In addition to the 117 exercise handouts for enhancing development, the manual includes practical information on how to guide parents when doing the exercises, hints about hand-over-hand guidance, what toys encourage the desired movement, etc.  The appendix has helpful reproducible handouts as well on childproofing your home, car seat safety, and age appropriate toys.
