Written by My Kinder Themes: Psychomotor Development 

Psychomotor, with their applications and exercises, is one of the major themes that work in kindergartens and refers to the ability of children to master and express themselves through different abilities of your body, according to the stage they are. Their proper development and stimulation are crucial for future performance. But it is often necessary to clarify some terms and their differences, as this will facilitate the understanding of the child's progress reports. Psychomotor is divided into two areas: the thin and thick.

The fine motor skills refers to all actions that the child performs primarily with their hands, through eye-hand coordination, etc.. Here is the painting, punching, gluing, tearing, use of tools, take things with the fingertips, get covered, basting, mixing, etc. Generally help detect shortcomings and physical conditions such as weakness in the fingers or osteoplasty (elastic bones). All these exercises are developed to table with different materials.

The gross motor skills refers to those actions with the whole body, coordinating travel and movement of different limbs, balance, and all the senses. Walk, run, roll, jump, spin, sports, body, and others are in this category. If you want to see, just watch the children at recess. That's gross motor skills of the purest out there!

While both are measurable and are considered in evaluations of early childhood education centers, fine requires more attention to your score, while the thicker it is easier to measure. Also, one has many more aspects to evaluate the other, these aspects are very punctual and have a specific age waiting time for your domain, while the age range in which a child is expected to master some skills is much thicker larger and variable.

But does not mean that everything we do is just fine or just thick. The vast majority of children's daily activities combine both areas simultaneously, resulting in what is called ability or motor skills.
