INFANT STIMULATION PROGRAMMES 3 (0+3)

Module- 7 & 8: Planning, Implementing and Evaluation of Stimulation Programme for Infants (7-12 months)

Tips to parents to enhance their baby’s fine motor development

• Stimulate grasp. Parents can place objects into their babies' hands to stimulate grasp. Then gently pull.


• Practice reaching. Parents can provide ample opportunity for their babies to reach for and grasp interesting objects. Some examples are stuffed animals, rattles, blocks, and busy boards.


• Practice handing. Parents can hand objects to their babies, then encourage them to hand them back.


• Provide finger foods. When children begin eating solids, parents can provide plenty of finger-food at mealtimes so their babies can feed themselves.
