Why Motor Skills Matter by Tara Liddle

This title offers practical advice for parents on the interaction among their child's muscular, mental, and motor development. ""Why Motor Skills Matter" provides not only knowledge but a game plan as to how parents can help their little ones develop optimal potential via play, stimulation, and establishment of an appropriate environment." - Ruth A. Peters, Ph.D., and bestselling author of "Laying Down the Law". According to pediatric physical therapist Tara Losquadro Liddle, playful interaction beginning in infancy is crucial to a child's learning abilities, language, speech, and overall emotional balance. Filled with practical, age-appropriate activities for newborns up to five years old, "Why Motor Skills Matter" shows parents how to: integrate touch, movement, and body awareness during playtime; bolster motor skills; develop appropriate play for each age level; and understand their child's development. "Why Motor Skills Matter" explains the impact motor skills have on the neurodevelopment of a child, helping parents participate more fully in their child's development.
