PohPoh's Tip :How to strengthen kids hand and finger muscles

A lot of people question Mummy why torture JL to kindy at 3 year old?

Mummy and PaPa initially plan was to let JL have fun and some activities. Anyway it was only a few hours. JL did have fun in his current kindy.

JL’s class teacher is very active, jovial, loving and also strict teacher. She is a great teacher to manage a 3-year-old class because this group of kids is the toughest group to manage.

Now, after chit chatting with his class teacher for a few times, Mummy found that her job is even tougher because she need to develop the kids’ motor skill and strengthen the young tender muscle. A lot of activity needed to be done so that when these kids move to 4 years old, they would not have problem holding pencils, etc.

How PohPoh trained JL’s hand muscle?

JL got very frustrating when PohPoh asked him to hold pencils and PohPoh knew that it was because his hands and fingers were weak. So, PohPoh stopped all the writing and decided to strengthen his muscles by introducing some activities by using chopstick and tweezers to sort different types of pastas or beans.

So far, JL was having lots of fun without realizing that he was actually strengthening his hands and fingers muscles.

For year end progress, JL’s teacher said that JL’s motor skill has improved a lot.
