Play Therapy Training: A Way To Improve Motor Skills

By John Graham


Almost all functioning ability in humans is learned after birth. This is why play therapy training has become an important factor in improving motor skills in children makes the other systems efficient as well. Motor means movement or the ability of correct movement made possible by muscle strength. In the child develop motor skills are noticed on toddlers of age groups zero to 3 by movement of feet, grasping of an object and pulling.

In the provision of learning programmes both at home and school, a child may feel pressured and thereby withdraws even further to a shell to feel safe. This causes a child not to be involved or want to take part in any class activity. A child maybe however natural uncomfortable with many people around, such behavior can be detected as the performance would change in individual tasks given.

Utilize the environment best suitable and responsive and introduce pairs and slowly bigger sets of play time or group activities. The pressure may be felt as a parent, therapist or teacher. This would, in turn, put the child in pressure thereby affecting overall growth ability. Do not compare kids take each child as an individual although cases can be closely related to each child s personality is unique.

This may be because of the environment in which the child is exposed to, lacking enough stimulation, obesity or in their unique nature take time to learn new things. At this age play, time for the kid is changed into extensive therapy, without overcrowding with activities but rather introduce one activity at a time. Outdoor play, when introduced to the child, helps the development much quicker than children confined to indoors and restricted activities.

Moving toys are encouraged for the child to try and reach for them or crawl after increasing muscle growth. 9-12-month babies are the most inquisitive and active. This is increased by the new walking ability in exploring surroundings. Some children would start crawling at this age or sit upright with little or no support.

Always start with an easier task and upgrade, start by coloring then add drawing and color own drawings. There would be always this 1 toy or activity the child loves to pick, let them have the freedom of choice. Gaining confidence even in one activity is a positive sign. Do not be a paranoid parent, this would make a child fearful to try new things.

It is at this stage also when the baby would start imitating what is done by others even in speech. At 14 months encourage baby to use hands and utensils for feeding. Selecting child-friendly soft cutlery with fun colors for a child to be familiar with and get excited at seeing it.

Other types of water play, cooking and sharing liquids between 2 or more utensils would require concentration from the child trying to avoid spills. A great mess may be just what a child needs, soft play door, painting with hands printing and drawing clumsy looking shapeless faces is just a lot of fun. Use of bare hands in such activities or eating would strengthen fine motor skills.
