Supporting your child's motor skills development

This session is for parents or carers of children aged between 4-8 years old who would like to understand more about their child's motor development and how to support this. The session will share information about the typical ages when children develop different motor skills. It will explain how to breakdown an activity such as pulling on a jumper into simple steps to help your child complete this independently. You will also get advice on activities and simple things you can do at home to support your child's motor development.

The session will be delivered online through a mix of written slides and spoken information. There are opportunities to ask questions through the online chat function during the session. Specific advice for individual children cannot be given during the session. The session is not available for staff from schools or early years settings, or any other professionals.

You do not need a referral to the Occupational Therapy Service to join the session and may find the information most helpful if you have not already accessed additional specialist support from the Occupational Therapy Service or another organisation providing specific motor development information. We welcome members of extended families to attend, alongside parents or carers.

Details of how to join the session will be provided to those who have booked places a few days before the session date; however you will need an internet connection and internet enabled device to participate.
