How Motors Skills Help For Your Baby Development?

When your baby begins to participate and engage in the world around him, it indicates that your baby is becoming more and more independent.

From the moment after the birth your baby will begin the process of developing the motor skills that are necessary for him to take command of that which is around him and for him to relate with the environment.


Physical baby development can be broken up into three-month intervals and divided into two categories. One is gross motor skills and the other is fine motor skills.


Gross motor skills are the term, which is used to describe your baby’s ability to control different parts of his own body.


Fine motor skills refer to your baby’s level of harmonization of different body parts, such as picking up an object with his thumb and forefinger. These two skills indicate your baby development.


Infant muscle development starts at the head and works its way down. Baby development first starts with control over the neck muscles. Soon after that your baby learns to control the torso and finally leg muscles.
