My son is 10 years and I think he has fine motor problems.?
My son is 10 and still has some problems which I believe is due to fine motor skills problem. He gets very frustrated at not being able to catch a ball, tying shoes, writing and video games. He is not slow (his notes are A and B), only lacks the coordination to do some things 10 years old can do it without problem. Is there anything I can do together to bring to physical therapy, to help improve fine motor skills.
TONS OF THINGS! Tactile activities are needed him. Use of paints, arts and crafts, the practice of capturing, linking and use of hand-eye coordination … I go out and find video / video games hand eye coordination involved. Something along the lines that when something appears on the screen, press / do something. DDR is a dance game television would be helpful. So would be a video game called Guitar Hero. Many arts and crafts work on small motor skills. Place the beans in string, with knots, cord etc. are some things to pay to enjoy. I suggest you get great paper and paint and let it be creative. If you do not receive the therapist, ask or pencil tweezers for your child for school. It can help with writing. Have them practice catching different sized balls out. I can not think of many more lessons, but I do not think cater to their age at all. Problems with coordination skills is becoming very common among children now. It is not because they are stupid or have problems serious, only their motor skills are developing as fast as others. Ask your therapist for ideas too. Best wishes!
