Fine motor exercises for mild dysgraphics and normal children with bad handwriting

The fine motor ability pertains to right kind of grasping of tools as well as appropriate movements using the small / fine/ micro muscles in our hands and wrists for daily life activities and use of writing utensils as well as their movement to make right strokes for legible writing.

For many normal children due to over-protective life-style; inappropriate play materials in early childhood and lack of early intervention, the writing difficulties occur among children.

Since children use fine motor skills to do many daily-life and school-related tasks, their training is required using proper exercises of hands. If exercises are not done properly and for several hours staggered in 30 day, the fine motor muscles do not improve.

Best diagnostic observation is revealed when the child struggles with tasks like writing and drawing, folding and turning paper or using scissors and cloth-pegs.

since, children use fine motor skills to make small movements involve coordinated efforts of the brain and muscles. This coordination and fine-motor muscles can be shaped and strengthened through certain basic exercises the hand.

The basic exercise by passing a hand though a hole and folding-unfolding fingers towards the palm for 10 minutes daily for a month can lead to better muscles and coordination skills as illustrated. This exercise should be treated as physiotherapy for children with writing difficulties.
