Specific practices vary from person to person and from environment to environment, but remember one thing, more encouragement, late reaching, less restrictions, more encouragement many parents can do. Late to reach out may not do well, the reason for this is because of the heartache of the child, which can not be faulted, parents and friends just know that your late point to reach out, the child will be a point earlier to do! Less restriction is to play the best note of the child’s desire to achieve, the stronger the child’s desire, the more likely to receive inducements, which further develop motor and cognitive skills!  Note: Many of the child’s problems are adults reaching out too early to raise; do not underestimate the daily training, to carefully design the daily action, try not to make the child produce a sense of boring!  2, insist on giving the child 1 to 2 times a day full-body touch or massage Parents of each massage or touch should be gentle, do not do as the rehabilitative massage therapist, or do the movements taught by the rehabilitative massage therapist, but the strength should be small and gentle. And parents must be clear about what the purpose of their actions, in general, the main role of home massage is to strengthen the child’s ability to sense the limbs, followed by improving joint movement, increasing muscle strength and enhancing the sensitivity of the sensory nerves in the brain.

What games can be helpful for children?  First, put the child in a cradle or a rocking chair or a swivel chair, slowly sway and turn, or ride a wooden horse and rock, or change between several kinds of exercises to exercise the brain in dynamic space to process messages and enhance vestibular function.  Second, induce or assist children to roll, crawl and chase freely on the bed or mat, and also set up different kinds of obstacles, so that children can use their own motor ability to go through the obstacles, so that all parts of the body can give full play to strengthen the child’s proprioception.  Third, parents through a variety of communication with children, including eyes, words, actions, so that children understand some basic action requirements. For example, take an apple and take a bite, give it to the child, say: eat the apple, and put the apple in the child’s hand, not in the hand, then leave and observe the child’s reaction. If the child can do it by himself, try not to help him. Actions such as these can enhance the child’s hand-eye coordination.  Fourth, pick up the child and make the child feet virtual stand, and then guide the child to kick the ball away from the body with his feet, and then catch up with the ball to continue; again catch up with the ball, let the child use his hands to slap the ball, so that the cycle of action, each time to do successfully to give the child a reward, can be material or can also be to give the child a kiss. This action is to build the child’s awareness of the use of limbs, so that the action prompts the brain to store movement signals.
