Hand-eye coordination is not a physiological problem, it is part of the visual-motor integration ability, which is a kind of learning ability, if this aspect is not good, it is possible that the vestibule is not good, that is, sensory disorders. What is hand-eye coordination? Hand-eye coordination refers to the coordination of fine motor movements of the human hand in conjunction with vision, and is composed of the ability of small muscles in conjunction with perceptual ability. The baby’s hands will change the direction and strength of the activity according to the perceptual message, and this is the use of hand-eye coordination in life. Hand-eye coordination promotes the coordinated functioning of small muscles and perception, allowing babies to better adapt to the requirements of the environment, which in turn promotes the development of their intelligence. Hand-eye coordination develops gradually with the development of nerves, and parental guidance and assistance are very important in this process. When the fetus is still in the mother’s womb, it already has the ability to hear and touch; so when the baby grows up, by imitating the movements of adults, he or she will want to grab and hold objects, and then practice the ability to grasp the hand, coupled with the development of visual, auditory and tactile capabilities, it can gradually stimulate the ability of hand-eye coordination. During the 0-3 years of age, most parents focus on the development of gross motor and language, but often neglect the equally important development of fine motor. Dr. Montessori believed that the hand is a tool for intellectual development. From birth, you can follow your little one’s hands from reflexive grasping to autonomous grasping, from full palm grasping to using the thumb, from three-finger grasping to flexible two-finger grasping. Each small improvement in the hand represents a revolutionary advance in the brain. The development process of baby’s hand-eye coordination 1, 1-3 months baby: reflexive grasping Baby 1 month, their hands are still mostly clenched, 2 months when the small fist began to slowly loosen, sometimes they will put the small hand into the mouth to taste, which indicates that the baby’s fine motor began to develop. When babies reach 3 months, although their grasp is not yet purposeful, they begin to be willing to use their whole hand to grasp objects. 2.4-6 months old: autonomous grasping At 4 months old, babies are able to reach out and grasp the objects that tease them, but they are still unable to grasp them. 5 months old, babies’ small hand ability is further improved, each small hand can grasp an object. 6 months old, they like to manipulate their small hands more and more, and the consequent behavior of throwing things, tearing pieces of paper, etc. also become a normal part of life. 3.7-8 months old baby: active grasping At this age, babies will reach out to grasp something when they see it. With better hand-eye coordination, the movement of small hands has developed from passive to active, and the accuracy rate has been greatly improved. At this age, babies can not only grasp accurately, but can also scoop items from one bowl to another. 4.9-12 months old baby: two-handed flexible grasp Baby 9 months, they can use their eyes to look for things that fall from their hands to the ground, like to play with articulate toys that can be struck to make a sound, and more skilled at pinching small items, they can easily pinch up beads. By the time babies reach 12 months of age, their doodling and book-flipping skills are further enhanced, and yes, their little hands are now very flexible and their hand-eye coordination is already very good. How to improve your baby’s hand-eye coordination in life? 1.Let your baby touch different materials often. You can start with your baby’s daily necessities, let your baby touch the material of his clothes, toys and household items, so as to enhance the sensitivity of your baby’s small hands and lay the foundation for improving hand-eye coordination. 2.Let your baby do as much as possible Mom can prepare some finger cookies for your baby, and then prepare a cup of milk, let your baby grab the finger cookies with his hands to dip them into the milk, and then put them in his mouth to eat, this training method, the baby’s cooperation will be very high! 3.Change the track to improve the baby’s hand-eye coordination Mom can suddenly change the original direction when handing the baby a toy, so that the baby needs to follow the direction of the toy, so as to get the toy. However, this “training” should not be too frequent, so that the baby does not always get the toy and cause crying.
