When should you start supporting your child's motor development?

Gaining full control of body movements, consistent muscle action and nerve centres are the main goals of motor development. Before a child reaches the desired state, however, he or she takes a lot of small steps - literally and figuratively. He starts from the very first days of life, grasping objects that appear within his reach, lifting his head and limbs. The range of skills expands rapidly - shy crawling becomes more and more confident walking, then jumping and running. So when is the best time to enrol children in group classes, encourage physical activity or first training sessions?

Emphasis on the child's motor development should be placed from the age of three, because from this point onwards the child's vagus is developed. Although his movements are not yet completely coordinated, he generally has no problems with balance, runs well, is energetic and has an ever-growing curiosity about the world. However, he still has difficulty with precise movements and is still developing fluidity and harmony.

It is therefore the perfect time to take your child to Airo Space Kids, where qualified animators will take care of his or her optimal development, offering a variety of workshops to support motor and manual skills. They will skilfully select the level of difficulty of the games and activities to suit the age of the participants, allowing them to work at a pace that is appropriate for them.

Experts say that certain activities should be encouraged, but not forced. Development is most beneficial when it takes place at a rhythm adapted to the individual child. Although at times his actions may seem slow, functioning in harmony with the young organism will pay off in the future with correct coordination and balance.
