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.

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. Keywords: gender, fine motor development, infant Correspondence: Catur Retno Lestari. Study Program of Biomedical Science, Universitas IVET Semarang.

ABSTRACT   Children are the nation's next generation, so the quality of future generations depends on the quality of children's development, especially in infants aged three years (toddlers), because the first three years of life, growth and development of brain cells are still ongoing. It is said to be a golden period because infancy lasts very briefly and cannot be repeated again. It is said to be a critical period because at this time the baby is very sensitive to the environment and requires good nutrition and stimulation for growth. and its development. Between growth and development must run simultaneously. While delayed development is a developmental disorder which is usually caused by risk factors of pre-natal, natal, and post-natal. This study will identify the relationship between the behavior of providing developmental stimulation to improve children's motor development in overcoming delayed development in children aged 12-24 months, by examining using the DDST II Test (Denver Development Screening Test) II. Methods This study uses an analytic observational design with a cross sectional approach, with a multivariate analysis design. The sampling method uses purposive sampling technique with the number of research respondents as many as 60 children in the Yogyakarta PKU Hospital and the independent clinic Child Growth. The results of the nonparametric statistical analysis test with the Likelihood Ratio in gross motor development obtained significance values α = 0.01; whereas in the development of fine motor, a significance value of α = 0.01 is obtained, while in the development of language, a significance value of α = 0.00 The conclusion of this study is the relationship between the behavior of stimulation with the development of gross motor, fine motor, and language. The specific objective is to find out the behavior of development stimulation in overcoming delayed development in children aged 12-24 months   Keyword: development, delayed development, developmental stimulation

<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>

<p><strong><em>Background: </em></strong><em>Supporting of baby growth must be done in a comprehensive and quality manner that can be done through stimulation activities. Stimulation that is easily given actively to infants can be through tactile stimulation in the form of massages. Massage therapy can be combined with water therapy, which is a baby spa. Baby spas can be used to support the success of sensory skills, fine motor skills and gross motor skills.</em></p><p><strong><em>Objective: </em></strong><em>The study was to determine the effectiveness of Baby Spa on sensory skills, fine motor skills and gross motor skills in children aged 6-24 months.</em></p><p><strong><em>Method: </em></strong><em>The design used in this study was a pre-experimental design with a two-group pre-post-test approach. The variables in this study are the baby spa, sensory skills, fine motor skills and gross motor skills. Respondents were children aged 6 to 24 months totaling 29 children for the treatment group and 29 children for the control group. The treatment group will be treated eight times (2 times baby spa and six times massage). Previously conducted a pre-test, then after eight treatments carried out a post-test with an observation of sensory skills, fine motor skills and gross motor skills — data analysis using the Mann-Whitney test.</em></p><p><strong><em>Results: </em></strong><em>The results of data analysis on the sensory skill obtained p-value = 0.962 indicates that the baby spa is less effective against increasing sensory skills, while the fine motor skill p-value = 0,000 and gross motor skill obtained p-value = 0,000 means that the baby spa is effective against increasing fine motor skills and gross motor skills in children aged 6 to 24 months.</em></p><p><strong><em>Conclusion: </em></strong><em>That the Baby Spa is very effective against increasing fine motor skills and gross motor skills but the sensory skills are less effective. So you need sensory </em><em>skill stimulation with baby spas and other methods.</em><strong><em><br /></em></strong><em></em><em></em></p>

The first five years of a children’s age is the period of rapid growth with physical and motor development. Those process will develop well if stimulated continuously. Early childhood always identic with high activity requires the opportunity to express their abilities. Therefore playing method is very urgent inchildren’s gross motor skills and fine motor skills development through a variety of playing activities both indoors and outdoors. Playing is an activity that cannot be separated from early childhood’s world. All playing activities will be carried out happily. By the same token learning by playing will be done happily without any sense of being forced or oppressed.

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.

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.

Fundamentado em teorias de motivação (Ames, 1987, 1992a, b; Epstein, 1988, 1989; Nicholls, 1984) o objetivo deste estudo foi determinar a influência de uma intervenção motora, com técnica de motivação orientada para a maestria (TMOM), no desenvolvimento motor e na percepção de competência física de crianças com idades entre seis e 10 anos que demonstraram atrasos motores previamente identificados. Noventa e uma crianças com atrasos motores foram aleatoriamente distribuídas em dois grupos: intervenção (N = 41) e controle (N = 50). Os participantes do grupo de intervenção foram submetidos a 12 semanas (duas sessões semanais). Ao início e término da intervenção, todos os participantes realizaram o Test o f Gross Motor Development - TGMD organizado por Ulrich (1985). Os participantes que experienciaram a intervenção também responderam a Pictorial Scale of Perceived Competence and Social Acceptance - PSPCSA (Harter & Pike, 1984) no início e no término da intervenção. A influência da intervenção na percepção de competência física foi avaliada através de ANOVA com medidas repetidas. Os resultados evidenciaram que a intervenção promoveu mudanças significantes e positivas em relação à percepção de competência física de meninos e meninas com atrasos no desenvolvimento motor. A ênfase na TMOM propicia ao professor oportunidades para criar experiências motoras que suprem as necessidades de todas as crianças, indiferentes de suas experiências prévias e diferentes níveis de habilidades, promovendo a autonomia das crianças colocando-as como sujeitos de suas conquistas. Em outras palavras, permite as crianças explorarem seu próprio processo de aprendizagem
