Early childhood development relies on various micronutrients. We recently reported that home fortification of complementary foods using spirulina reduced the time to attain motor milestones in Zambian infants. The objective of this study is to estimate the long-term associations between spirulina supplementation during the first 1000 days and child gross motor development, fine motor development, language, and personal–social skills at preschool age. We used longitudinal data from a randomized trial conducted in Zambia. In 2015, 501 infants (age, 6–18 months) were provided daily supplements of maize-soy-based porridge with spirulina (SP) and without spirulina (CON). Supplementation period lasted for 16 months. In January 2018, children who participated in the initial trial were resurveyed (CON: 182 children; SP: 188 children; now aged 36–48 months). We assessed the infants’ gross motor development, fine motor development, language, and personal–social skills using a modified version of Malawi Development Assessment Tool. The initial clinical trial registration number was NCT03523182. Children in the SP group had higher scores in gross and fine motor development, language, and social skills than those in the CON group. Home fortification of complementary foods using spirulina during the first 1000 days improved development among Zambian children at preschool age.

Background: The relationship between mothers and their children’s lifestyle is still unclear, especially in disadvantaged areas. Consequently, the study aims to identify a path explaining the extent to which maternal eating habits and physical activity (PA) level predict food-related aspects, PA practice and Quotient of Gross Motor Development (QGMD) in preschoolers from disadvantaged urban areas. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 79 dyads of mothers and children were recruited from kindergartens. Information related to family socio-demographic aspects, mothers’ and children’s dietary intake frequencies and PA/sedentariness, mothers’ weight and height, mothers’ perception on children’s food intake, and children’s food literacy (FL) was collected with a questionnaire and the Food Literacy Assessment Tool (preschool-FLAT), while gross-motor skills were measured with the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD); weight and height of children were directly collected. Results: Associations were found between mothers’ and children’s food habits; mothers’ and children’s fruit/vegetables consumption, and intake of the other items; mothers’ education or PA level and children’s FL; mothers’ PA or sedentariness and children’s QGMD; mothers’ BMI and food habits and children’s BMI; education and food habits. Conclusions: These findings can be useful to plan effective interventions targeted both to preschoolers and their mothers of disadvantaged urban areas for promoting healthy lifestyles, which have become increasingly difficult to achieve during COVID-19 pandemic.

Gross Motor Development

Early childhood education is the embryo of an educational process that seeks to develop several aspects of development, including art. Art is one that cannot be separated in human life. The movements that are carried out in children every day are very effective means of physical development, namely developing children's motor skills. As we already know that children's motor skills include gross motor development and fine motor development. So it is very important to recognize dance movements in early childhood, in developing gross motor skills. So that early childhood can express themselves and be able to appreciate the diversity of arts as a form of respect for art. This paper aims to describe the implementation of learning the basic movements of dance in developing gross motor skills for early childhood

Many studies have established a relationship between visual function and motor development in toddlers. This is the first report to study two-year-olds via an assessment of their visual and motor skills. The purpose of this study is to describe the possible changes that can occur between visual and motor systems in typical developing toddlers. A total of 116 toddlers were included in this observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional study. Their mean age was 29.57 ± 3.45 months. Motor development variables studied were dominant hand/foot; stationary, locomotion, object manipulation, grasping, visual motor integration percentiles; gross motor, fine motor, and total motor percentiles; and gross motor, fine motor, and total motor quotients. Visual development variables were assessed including visual acuity, refractive error, ocular alignment, motor fusion and suppression, ocular motility, and stereopsis. Our findings demonstrated that typical developing toddlers with slow gross motor development had higher exophoria and further near point of convergence values compared to toddlers with fast gross motor development (p < 0.05). No statistically significant differences were found in visual acuity and stereopsis between slow and fast gross motor development toddlers.

BACKGROUND: A significant proportion of preterm infants experience developmental delay despite receiving a post discharge early interventional care. Cerebrolysin is a peptide mixture which acts similar to endogenous neurotrophic factors through promoting neurogenesis and enhancing neuronal plasticity. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of Cerebrolysin plus routine intervention program versus routine intervention program alone on the outcome of preterm infants at high risk for neurodevelopmental delay. METHODS: In a randomized controlled trial, high-risk preterm infants <  32 weeks’ gestation who have abnormal neurological assessment at two months corrected post-natal age were randomized at 6 months corrected post natal age to receive either early intervention program or early intervention program plus Cerebrolysin injection of 0.1 mL/kg body weight every week for 3 months as an adjuvant therapy. The primary outcome was the rate of failure of the gross motor assessment at 12 months of corrected age and secondary outcomes included fine motor, language, and personal social development at 12 months corrected post-natal age as assessed by Denver Developmental Screening Test II. RESULTS: Cerebrolysin group had a significant lower number of infants diagnosed with failed gross motor development compared to infants in the routine intervention group [10 (33%) versus 21 (70%), p = 0.009]. Cerebrolysin group had a significant lower number of infants diagnosed with failed fine motor, language and personal social development compared to infants in the routine intervention group. CONCLUSION: Cerebrolysin, as an adjuvant therapy to routine early interventional care, may improve gross motor development of high-risk preterm infants at 12 months corrected post-natal age.

Normal growth and development are indicators of the success of infant cardiac transplantation. The clinical transplant coordinator must be aware of age-appropriate milestones in gross motor, fine motor, language, cognitive, and social skills, so that accurate assessment and early intervention can be instituted. In this review of five cases, gross motor development was the only category with consistently lower scores. Gross motor development did improve in the two cases tested more than once. Length of hospitalization before and after transplantation and use of sedative medications during the waiting period may have affected developmental outcome scores.

Background: Infancy is a golden age (Golden Age) in the development of an individual. At the time of this child extraordinary growth and development both in terms of motor, logic, cognitive, and psychosocial. Children under five experience an increase in general developmental delay. Objective: This study was to determine the relationship of head circumference with motor development of children aged 1-24 months at the Sitti Khadijah 1 Muhammadiyah Hospital, Makassar. Method: The research design used was analytic observational using a cross sectional study approach. Where the design of this study in the form of measurement or observation of independent variables and dependent variables and observations of objects is only done once and at the same time. The determination of the sample is done by accidental sampling technique with a sample size of 142 children. Relationship test was performed using chi-square test with significance level α <0.05. Result: The results showed that children with abnormal head circumference and fine motor development were inhibited as much as 9.2% with a value of ρ = 0,000, this showed that there was a significant relationship between head circumference with fine motor development in children aged 1-24 months at the Mother Hospital and Anak Sitti Khadijah 1 Muhammadiyah Makassar. And children who have abnormal head circumference with impaired gross motor development as much as 9.9% with a value of p = 0,000, this shows there is a significant relationship between head circumference with gross motor development in children aged 1-24 months at the Mother and Child Hospital Sitti Khadijah 1 Muhammadiyah Makassar. Conclusion: The conclusion from the results of this study found that there was a significant relationship between head circumference with fine motor development and there was a significant relationship between head circumference with gross motor development. Thus it is expected for parents to frequently take measurements of head circumference and screening of motor development in children to determine the development of their brain and detect any delay in motor development of children.
