Babies can work on fine motor skills by reaching out and trying to grab your hair or finger (or in reality, your long, dangly earrings) and can
improve gross motor skills by trying to lift his / her head up and try to look at you.
This helps to improve your child's posture, along with balance and
improved gross motor skills.
Improved gross motor skills will impact your child's development in terms of fine motor skills and help your child with all the new day to day tasks they will be needing to learn and implement in his or her life.
Improved gross motor skills are an important part of healthy development for 2 - year - olds.
