Finger exercises for children and their general development

The consequence of the development of fine motor skills is an improvement in the work of the right and left hemispheres of the brain. Their synchronous work affects the level of development of children's speech. The interrelation between the cerebral hemispheres is necessary for the reason that in the right appear images of various objects and phenomena, and in the left they acquire verbal forms.

Thus, the "bridge" between the hemispheres must necessarily exist. But, as you know, "bridges" are different - strong and reliable, or weak, ready at any time to collapse. Nerve impulses prefer strong "bridges". On them they go confidently, quickly and often. And from this the idea works more actively, the attention is concentrated more quickly, the child's abilities pass to a qualitatively new level.

From what has been said, it follows that if parents want to discover certain abilities in their child, teach them to deftly and quickly perform any work, it is correct and beautiful to speak, first of all it is necessary to develop the fingers and hands of his hands.

This same idea is confirmed by the famous Soviet teacher Vasily Alexandrovich Sukhomlinsky. He says that the child's mind is at the tips of his fingers.

When to start working with fingers
