Taking Hold. Manual Dexterity in Young Children
Description
Holding hands with a child is one of the great pleasures of parenting-but it's also a manifestation of key steps in infant and toddler development. This program looks at the growth of manipulative skills in childhood, from a newborn's primitive grasp to the creative tool-use of a two-year-old. Viewers gain an understanding of how babies learn to pick up objects, drop or release them, and use them in combination, as well as how these skills are applied to the tools of everyday life: spoons, toothbrushes, crayons, and the like. Although manual dexterity starts taking shape within three months after birth and is directly related to survival, the video also emphasizes its link to creativity and self-expression.
