Concept of Child Development Theory Based on Perceptional and Motor Domains

Children's motor development is very important because children are confident in their environment, including when playing with their friends, children who grow and develop without motor skills will become inferior in carrying out tasks related to their skills. The aim of this research is to provide illustrated abilities in completing certain motor tasks, to provide the ability to be able to train children's body movements during motor development and to hone children's fine and gross motor skills. The method used by the author is a literature review analysis. In the process of motor perception, environmental stimuli that are relevant to movement are recognized, appropriate movement information is sent in the form of output to the muscles to produce various types of movement. Up to the fine and gross motoric stages, perceptual motor skills are also very important in improving children's motor skills and academic abilities.

Effect of complementary feeding using the baby-led weaning method on development in toddlers: a narrative review

Background: The baby-led weaning (BLW) approach can introduce complementary food to six-month-old infants. This method offers large pieces of solid foods such as vegetables, meat, and fruit. BLW can encourage children's development, especially motor skills such as chewing and speaking. This literature review aimed to determine the definition and technique of the BLW in giving complementary feeding and identify the effect of using the BLW method on toddler development. Methods: The type of research was a literature review based on the review process of research articles that discuss the effect of BLW on toddler development. The search for articles was done from the Google Scholar and PubMed databases. Results: The author found infants were introduced to complementary feeding late from standard weaning. Initially, the baby is offered finger food and allowed to eat alone. BLW significantly affects children's development, especially in helping to form independence, preventing picky eater behaviour, stimulating children's fine motor skills, and improving oral motor skills. Conclusion: The mother offered late complementary feeding with different types of food and techniques from the standard method. The BLW could significantly influence toddler development.

Immediate effects of a novel hand rehabilitation board on fine motor skills in children with cerebral palsy: A pilot study.

In children with cerebral palsy (CP), fine motor skills limit forearm supination and active extension of the elbow, wrist, or fingers. Therapeutic interventions focusing on improving the ranges at these joints while facilitating active movements are the key to augmenting fine motor skills. This pilot study examines if children with CP (with UE involvement) exposed to the Novel Hand Rehabilitation (NHR) Board will demonstrate 1) changes in spasticity and passive ROM of forearm and wrist/finger muscles, and 2) improvement in fine motor abilities. The forearm and wrist/fingers of children with spastic CP (N = 15; M = 7, F = 8) aged 49-72 months (65.33±6.355 months) were positioned on the NHR board till their tolerance limit or a minimum duration of 30 minutes. The outcome measures, i.e., spasticity (Modified Ashworth Scale), passive range of motion (PROM) of wrist and fingers, and fine motor skills (PDMS-2 - Fine motor scale), were recorded. The spasticity of forearm pronators (0.001) and wrist flexors (0.008) reduced significantly, but not in wrist extensors. Post-intervention improvements in wrist extension (p = 0.005) and ulnar deviation ROM (p = 0.007) were significant. In thumb, changes were non-significant for the CMC flexion, but extension (0.003) and abduction (0.001) as well as MCP extension (0.004) were significant. The post-intervention MCP extension ROM for the 2nd (0.001), 3rd (0.007), and 4th fingers (0.014) were also substantial, but not for PIP and DIP joints. The post-intervention percentage change in the Grasping and Visual-motor integration subtests of PDMS-2 was 11.03% (p = 0.002) and 5.09% (p = 0.001) respectively. The immediate effects on fine motor skills in children with CP after the NHR board application were positive and encouraging. Hence, the NHR board can be recommended as an intervention to improve the fine motor abilities of children with CP.

Kinematic Assessment of Fine Motor Skills in Children: Comparison of a Kinematic Approach and a Standardized Test.

Deficits in fine motor skills have been reported in some children with neurodevelopmental disorders such as amblyopia or strabismus. Therefore, monitoring the development of motor skills and any potential improvement due to therapy is an important clinical goal. The aim of this study was to test the feasibility of performing a kinematic assessment within an optometric setting using inexpensive, portable, off-the-shelf equipment. The study also assessed whether kinematic data could enhance the information provided by a routine motor function screening test (the Movement Assessment Battery for Children, MABC). Using the MABC-2, upper limb dexterity was measured in a cohort of 47 typically developing children (7-15 years old), and the Leap motion capture system was used to record hand kinematics while children performed a bead-threading task. Two children with a history of amblyopia were also tested to explore the utility of a kinematic assessment in a clinical population. For the typically developing children, visual acuity and stereoacuity were within the normal range; however, the average standardized MABC-2 scores were lower than published norms. Comparing MABC-2 and kinematic measures in the two children with amblyopia revealed that both assessments provide convergent results and revealed deficits in fine motor control. In conclusion, kinematic assessment can augment standardized tests of fine motor skills in an optometric setting and may be useful for measuring visuomotor function and monitoring treatment outcomes in children with binocular vision anomalies.

IMPROVING CHILDREN'S FINE MOTOR SKILLS AT THE AGE OF 4 - 5 YEARS THROUGH CHARCOAL FINGER PAINTING ACTIVITIES

Fine motor skills are an important ability for children to have. This research aims to improve the fine motor skills of children aged 4-5 years through charcoal finger painting activities.

The data collection technique uses observation and documentation with a target of 75% success as seen in the child's ability in 1) eye and hand coordination, 2) finger strength, 3) wrist flexibility. The results of the research showed that there was an increase in the pre-cycle, the results were 47.5%, the results in cycle 1 were 72.5% and the results were 83.5% in cycle II, which means that charcoal finger painting activities can improve children's fine motor skills.

Improving Fine Motor Skills in Children with Special Needs Through Foam Squeezing Play Therapy

The development of children with special needs (ABK) has obstacles in terms of fine motor development. Like the ability to play the foam squeezing game. This research method uses quasi-experiment, namely providing intervention to children. A sample of 15 children was taken using purposive sampling according to the inclusion criteria. The research results obtained in the intervention group before and after foam massage play therapy obtained a p-value of 0.000. The discussion in the research found the effect of foam squeezing play therapy on improving the fine motor skills of children with special needs. It is recommended that SDLB Negeri 4 Bengkulu be more creative and use varied learning methods such as squeezing foam so that children's fine motor skills are more stimulated.

An observational study of parental language during play and mealtime in toddlers at variable likelihood for autism.

Parental language input influences child language outcomes but may vary based on certain characteristics. This research examined how parental language differs during two contexts for toddlers at varying likelihood of autism based on their developmental skills. Parental language (quantity, quality, and pragmatic functions) was analyzed during dyadic play and mealtime interactions as a secondary data analysis of observational data from a study of toddlers at elevated and lower likelihood of autism. Child developmental skills and sensory processing were also assessed. Parents used more words per minute, directives, and verbs during play and more adjectives, descriptions, and questions during mealtime. Parental language differed based on child fine motor skills, receptive language, and levels of sensory hyporesponsiveness but not autism likelihood. Overall, this study found that parental language varies based on context and child developmental skills. Future research examining parental language should include pragmatic functions and context across developmental trajectories.
