Mondo Parenting Updated on 2024-02-22

Motor development delay, as the name suggests, refers to a child's motor development that lags behind that of normal children of the same age. Children's development is a continuous process of systematic dynamics, and it is a journey that cannot be stopped or returned, in this journey, it is particularly important to observe children objectively, comprehensively and comprehensively, understand children's development milestones, and identify children's emotional behavior and developmental lag at an early stage! The motor development of a normal child follows a developmental process from top to bottom, from proximal to distal, from uncoordinated to coordinated, and from involuntary to voluntary.

1.Abnormal muscle tone

The infant has a weak body, loose muscles, and a significant reduction in spontaneous movements, or a stiff body with a fixed posture (e.g., angular arch reflexion, frog position, inverted U-shaped posture, etc.). Feel that your baby's hands and feet are resistant, and it is difficult to move your baby's hands and feet.

There are great individual differences in children's development, and comparisons are inevitable, but try to compare the child's development level with the "normal range", and compare the child's development and changes at different ages, rather than with a specific individual. To determine whether the baby's development is delayed, the child's developmental dimensions are usually evaluated from the aspects of gross motor, fine motor, adaptability, language, and social behavior.

Xingkang suggests that once parents find that the baby's behavior is "abnormal", please take him and her to a regular hospital as soon as possible to do a scientific and professional assessment, through professional doctors to give a clear diagnosis and countermeasures, as soon as possible to actively carry out individualized intervention training, early detection, early diagnosis, early **, the use of infant brain development plasticity, through sports learning to promote the baby's motor development, there is a great chance that the child can catch up with the same age of normal children.
