What Is Eye Coordination?

Hand-eye coordination refers to the coordination of fine movements of the human hand with visual cooperation.

Infant movement development follows general principles and sequences.

1.Head-to-tail principle of development from top to bottom

2. The near-far principle of development from the inside out

3. The principle of large and small movements to fine movements ^[2]

The coordination of pediatric hand-eye movements gradually develops with the development of neuropsychiatric maturity. For example, a baby of 5 months often cannot grasp when reaching for a toy; not only can it be accurately grasped at 8 months, but also pass with both hands; a child of 10 months can pinch the millet flower with his fingers; a child of 12 months Began to draw with a pen; in 18 months, I could use 3-4 blocks to build a "building"; when I was 2 years old, I could build 7-8 floors. It can be seen that the hand and eye movements of children after the age of one year have been basically coordinated, and they have been able to complete some basic operation skills. ^[3]

Hand-eye coordination training baby hand-eye coordination

1. Buy some operational toys for your child, such as building blocks and plug-in boards. You can also use cartons and popsicle sticks to make your own stick-up toys for your child to practice repeatedly.

2. Holding strokes and drawing is a basic item to train children's hand-eye coordination. Drawing (scribbling) not only develops the fine movements of the child's hand, but also further stimulates his interest through the traces drawn.

3. Let your child eat with a spoon. Almost every little baby likes spoons, likes to stir the rice by himself and try to put it in his mouth. This is a wonderful project to improve hand-eye coordination. The child picks up the scoop of rice by dozens to hundreds of times and sends it to his mouth. Soon the hand-eye cooperation is getting better and better, and the action is coordinated. ^[3]
