A baby grabs, kneads, releases or breaks everything around it. The reality is that it is developing skills And his intelligence. For this reason, it is very important to know how to stimulate your manual ability.
Manipulation awakens intelligence, there is a period called sensory-motor intelligence that covers more or less the first two years of the life of a human being. In this period it is essential that the child experiences sensations, that he uses his hands and can put them in contact with everything around him.
The baby builds its structures, whether biological or mental, through activity. The truth is that in children knowledge is closely linked with the manipulation of objects, in this way they learn the properties of their surroundings, discover different surfaces (soft, rough, hard, soft ...), others that break like the paper, etc. We must propose games that allow you to move forward, for example, to ease the pressure, put objects in the palm of your hand and grab them, place a toy out of the reach of your hand so that, try to catch it or offer toys tied to ropes To play freely.
We must stimulate the simultaneous activity in both hands with water games, plasticine or sand, objects and containers so that it plays to take them out or put them, that takes small objects, such as dice, marbles, but with great caution so that they do not put them in mouth.
Stimulate the coordination between the eye and the hand by bringing hanging objects, sound or bright. Hang bells to find where the noise comes from, etc.
All these tips will help the perfect development of their skills, although the most important thing is to play with our children, talk to them a lot and, above all, also tell them a lot that we love them.
