At this age, children can follow simple directions, like “go to the table” or “put down the toy.” Scaffolding is also an important practice for caregivers as toddlers develop in the cognitive domain. And as for fine motor skills, you can tell he is on point with his because he can work the toys and play with them how they are supposed to. When it comes to using gross motor skills things like walking, jumping, and running — your little dynamo probably doesn 't need much encouragement. But it 's equally important that kids work on their fine motor skills small, precise thumb, finger, hand, and wrist movements because they support a host of other vital physical and mental skills.
