Background: After birth, the growth and growth of boys will tend to be faster than girls and will last until a certain moment. This is affected by testosterone, a hormone that is higher in male babies than in female babies. The employment status of mothers may affect the role and presence of mothers in stimulating children to achieve motor development according to their age. Working mothers can have a negative or positive influence on the development of children. The negative impact of working mothers is that the presence of the mother in the child’s daily life is lower than that of the mother who is not working, so that the mother can provide motivation and stimulation. This study aimed to determine the gender and occupation relationship on fine motor skill among infants aged 6-11 months. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study of 284 infants aged 6-11 months. This study was carried out in eight community health centres in Kulon Progo Regency, Yogyakarta. The dependent variable was fine motor skill. The independent variable was gender. Data on fine motoric development were based on the results of the pre-screening development questionnaire. Other data were collected from interview and questionnaire. Data were analyze using the Chi-square test. Results: There was a significant relationship between gender and fine motor development among infants aged 6-11 months. Conclusion: Gender is proven to have a significant relationship with fine motor development among infants aged 6-11 months.

Introduction: Globally 200 million children do not reach their developmental potentials in their first five years. The early identification of developmental delay is very critical . This study was undertaken to assess the developmental milestones of toddlers at selected areas of Nedumkandam, Idukki district, Kerala. Method: The present study was an explorative study of 120 toddlers between the age group of 30-36 months from selected areas of Nedumkandam. Data were collected by using Modified ages and stages questionnaire. It is a series of questionnaires designed to screen the developmental performance of toddlers in the areas of communication, gross motor skill, fine motor skill, cognitive, and social development. The scale was answered ‘yes’ or ‘sometimes’ or ‘not yet’. The total score is 60 and score range of 41-60 as normal development, 31-40 as mild delay and 0-30 as delayed. Result: The result indicated that 76.7% of toddlers are having normal development up to the age, 20% are having mild delayed development and 3.3% are having delayed development. Regarding the aspects of development it has been noted that mean score of gross motor development is 11.1 , fine motor development is 10.9, cognitive development is 9.3 social development is 10.7 and communication is 9.1. There is no association of developmental milestones with selected demographic variables. Conclusion: The study was concluded that majority of the toddlers achieved the developmental milestones as per the age. The study also revealed that there was no association with selected demographic variables.

Learning dental procedures is a complex task involving the development of fine motor skills. The reported use of theories and/ or evidence for designing learning activities to develop the fine motor skills needed for dental practice is limited. The aim of this review is to explore the available body of knowledge related to learning fine motor skills in dentistry. Evidence from studies investigating motor skill learning highlights the negative impact of self-focus and self-regulation on learning outcomes, particularly during the early stages of learning. The development of activities and schedules that enable novices to demonstrate characteristics similar to experts, without the reported long period of ‘deliberate practice’, is clearly of value. Outcomes of learning implicitly are important in dentistry because working under stressful conditions is common, either during undergraduate study or in practice. It is suggested that learning implicitly in the simulation stage can reduce disrupted performance when transitioning to clinical settings. Therefore, further investigation of effective methods for learning dental fine motor skills is indicated, using approaches that result in robust performance, even under stressful conditions.

Combining Methods

<p>By combining methods of survey with questionnaire, the author investigated the situation of fine motor skill of 330 children aged 3 to 6 in the junior, middle and senior groups of 11 kindergartens in three districts of Nanchong City, and conducted questionnaire on the children’s parents’ educational attitude toward fine motor. The survey data analyzed by SPSS shows that children’s fine motor skill in Nanchong is improved as they are growing older; that their development of drawing, folding and cutting fine motor skill is relatively weaker; that there are some differences in skill level between genders, kindergarten categories and native places. The kindergartens should develop curriculum for development of children’s fine motor. In “Motor development” objectives of<em> Learning and Development Guideline for Children Aged 3 to 6</em>, gender factor of affecting fine motor skill should be added. The kindergarten shall conduct differentiated instruction on boy’s and girl’s fine motor skill. Teachers and parents shall jointly support children’s operation and exploration activities of fine motor, to contain training in life and to achieve family-kindergarten cooperation and to promote children’s fine motor skill hand in hand.</p>

Time Movement

Little is known of how reallocations of time spent in different movement behaviors during preschool might relate to preschoolers’ fundamental movement skills (FMS), a key predictor of later physical activity (PA). Thus, the aim of this study was to examine (a) whether preschoolers’ school-time movement was associated with their FMS and (b) the effects on FMS of reallocating time between PA and sedentary behavior (SB). This was a cross-sectional study, using intervention data with Brazilian low-income preschoolers. We observed Brazilian preschoolers of both sexes ( Mage = 4.5, SD = 0.8 years-old; 101boys) over 10 hours of school-time and objectively assessed their PA and SB with Actigraph wGT3X and their FMS with the Test of Gross Motor Development – Second Edition. We explored the associations between school-time movement behaviors and FMS and between reallocated school-time movement behaviors and FES using compositional analysis in R (version 1.40-1), robCompositions (version 0.92-7), and lmtest (version 0.9-35) packages. This isotemporal reallocation showed that, for manipulative skills, reallocating time (5, 10, and 15 minutes, respectively) from light PA to SB was associated with increasing skill (0.14, 0.28, and 0.42 FMS units), raising questions as to whether fine motor activity occurred during SB. Thus, school-time movement significantly predicted FMS, with a modest increase in SB, at the expense of light PA eliciting improved manipulative skills.

The Relationship

Background: Beyond the often examined perceptions of competence and motor skill proficiency, perceived value and children’s expectations for success are thought to affect engagement in physical activities. We used parallel mediation models to examine the direct effect of motor skill proficiency on participation in physical activities, as well as whether children’s beliefs and value for physical activities mediated this relationship. Methods: The participants in this cross-sectional study were a total of 398 grade 3 children (201 girls) from 8 schools. Motor skills were assessed using the Test of Gross Motor Development-2, the Value Expectancy Questionnaire measured the psychological variables, and the Children’s Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment measured physical activities. Results: Motor skill proficiency predicted all 3 psychological constructs for the boys and the girls, and boys’ participation in physical activities. However, the psychological variables did not mediate the relationship between motor skills and participation among the boys. For the girls, task value mediated the relationship between motor skills and physical activity participation. Conclusion: It is possible that the girls are further along in their ability to reflect on their competence, successes, and failures; it is also possible that the lower motor skill levels of girls had a deleterious effect on their feelings about participating.

The purpose of this study was to investigate gross and fine motor skill in overweight and obese children compared with normal-weight peers. According to international cut-off points for Body Mass Index (BMI) from Cole et al. (2000), all 117 participants (5–10 year) were classified as being normal-weight, overweight, or obese. Level of motor skill was assessed using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC). Scores for balance (p < .01) and ball skills (p < .05) were significantly better in normal-weight and overweight children as compared with their obese counterparts. A similar trend was found for manual dexterity (p < .10). This study demonstrates that general motor skill level is lower in obese children than in normal-weight and overweight peers.

Contemporary Approach

Traditional games which involved fine motor skill are becoming obsolete nowadays, one of them is engklek. In addition to technological developments, the increasingly diminishing playgrounds and the growing individuality of the urban community has made traditional games much more forgotten. The preservation of engklek needs to be done through a contemporary approach involving recent technologies, one of them is using video games. Video games has potential to grow children's curiosity towards some knowledge that become increasingly rare. The aim of digitization of englek is to introduce traditional games in order to preserve the culture of traditional game for Indonesian children, especially for those whom live in urban areas today. The final result of this design process is an Android game application called PERON Engklek that would introduce traditional games through digital technology for children nowadays. By doing so, it would motivate them to play with their friends.
