Total Motor Skill: what is it?
Motor abilities (physical) skills are essential (physical) skills that call for a full-body motion to carry out everyday tasks like standing, walking, sprinting, jumping, and sitting up straight. These skills are essential to enhance the muscular ability needed for gross motor skills (to stabilize the core). It involves eye-hand coordination abilities, including riding, throwing, and swimming, catching, and kicking.
Why Is A Strong Motor Skill Vital?
For children to be able to do daily tasks like walking and running, as well as playground activities (rock climbing, etc.), it is essential that they have strong gross motor abilities (catching, throwing, hitting the ball with a bat, etc.). Gross motor abilities, on the other hand, are also crucial for performing daily self-care tasks. For example, dressing (you must be able to stand on one leg and push your feet into your pants legs without falling), getting in and out of the automobile, and even getting in and out of bed. Moreover, other daily activities also influence total motor skills. For instance, participation in fine motor activities (such as academic tasks) depends on a child's capacity to maintain appropriate tabletop posture (upper body support)carry school bags when moving between tables and classrooms. It will directly impact the kid's capacity for mobility (for example, walking around classroom objects such as desks, walking on sloping playground hills, and entering and exiting moving escalators). Without enough athletic ability, kids struggle with numerous daily activities like eating, picking up toys, and using the restroom.
