Document Summary
Fine motor movements involve the coordination of small muscles in the hands and fingers. Starts to lift head up while on tummy. Turns head to side to clear airway on tummy. Begins to roll belly to back first. Puts weight through hands while on tummy. Sitting balance improves and should be close to independent. Hand to mouth movement may be observed. Grasp reflex inhibited so starts to drop objects. Will attempt to pick up small object. Provide appropriate toys for hand manipulation and exposure to hand movement. Lack of exposure tentative about allowing small objects near child, messes at eating time. Overly helpful sibling/parents which do everything for their child (not letting them help to get undressed, feed themselves, and other self care tasks) Ensure vision assessment has been completed as vision issues can hamper the child"s ability to see and manipulate small objects. Play limited to chewing and mouthing objects. Not using thumb to grasp small objects.
