Is it true that touch allows children to better develop their grip strength and enhance their perception?

It’s scientific, specifically.

This exercise is best suited for children in the infancy stage (0-3) years old.

A person's mind is constantly developing throughout his life, and everyone's behavior is a reflection of psychological activities.

In developmental psychology, human life can be divided into six stages: infancy, early childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, middle age, and old age.

Among them, the main motor development in infancy is: grasping skills and independent walking

The baby's initial understanding of the world comes from movements.

Their initial cognitive activities are the result of the combination of these actions and sensory perceptions.

The key points for the development of hand grasping skills are five-finger differentiation and hand-eye coordination, which makes babies increasingly more active in operating objects.

From making fists and grasping inaccurately at the beginning, to finally being able to flexibly manipulate objects with fingers, this is the ability of babies to perceive the outside world and themselves by learning to grasp.

Grasp training is an important aid for the development of infants' movements. Because there is a very close relationship between movements and activities and psychological development, it itself is also of great significance to the psychological development of infants.

The accurate description of touch is "skin sensation"

When a baby touches an object, skin sensation is the most direct feeling, and the generation of sensation is inseparable from the function of nerves.

Different skin sensations correspond to different physiological receptors.

The stimulating signal is transmitted through the human body's nervous system to the nerve center - the brain, and finally appears as a sensation.

For example, when a baby touches a blanket, it is actually a touch of skin that is not compressed or deformed.

When grasping, it produces more of a "pressure sensation" perceived by the deformation of the skin.

The temperature of the object being grasped will also allow the baby to perceive "hot and cold", which is the "cold sensation" and "warm sensation" experienced by the baby.

So different feelings can also stimulate the baby's receptors and brain, helping the development of neurological organ functions.

Normal development of nervous organs is a necessary condition for enhancing perception of the outside world.

So, touch (skin sensation) can stimulate brain development, allowing children to better exercise their grip strength and enhance their perception.
