Motor skills are used everyday throughout our lives and are essential for baby's physical strength and movement. Motor skills and control begin developing after birth and progress as children grow. Motor skills are broken up into two categories: gross motor skills and fine motor skills. Gross motor skills are movements related to large muscles, like legs, arms, and trunk. Fine motor skills involve smaller muscle groups like those in the hand and wrist. Your child needs motor skills to move and complete tasks independently, to explore the world around them, and to meet developmental milestones. 🔗Learn more about motor skills and important motor milestones here: https://pathways.org/topics-of-develo... 🏠Visit Pathways.org for more FREE resources: https://www.pathways.org 👶 Download our FREE, award-winning mobile app, featuring important milestones to keep baby on track: https://pathways.org/mobile-app 📧 Stay in the know!
