Important factors for your children to grow healthy

Sensory and motor developments are the underlying foundation for all future progress. Babies learn through interaction with their environment. In order to do so, an infant must have the abilities to sense, to feel, and to move freely and purposefully. Sensory and motor development affect the child’s ability to explore the surroundings, to turn his/her head in order to follow a moving object with the eyes, to reach and to grasp toys, to crawl, walk, run, climb and jump, etc.. These physical, interactive activities foster understanding and mastery of the environment, stimulating cognitive, language and social development.

小童腳部問題 影響一生

很多家長都十分關心子女有否扁平足或腳部變形的情況,可能是大部份成人也經歷過腳痛、腰痛,而知道及早預防或改善的重要性。

良好腳形是很重要的,因為雙腳承托整個身體,若根基不好,整過身體便雖「遷就」,時間久了便引致膝部、寬關節、腰背、甚至頸部勞損以致疼痛。但這個過程非常漫長,痛症通常到成年時才出現,不過成年人的關節、骨骼往往已出現結構性的變形,也因而錯過了糾正的好時機,所以若能及早發現是十分重要的。

過度活躍兒童的感覺運動功能

患有專注力不足/過度活躍症 (Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, 簡稱 ADHD/ADD)的兒童通常有不專心、非常活躍及易衝動的特徵。很多時候家長、老師都很關心ADHD/ADD兒童的專注力及學習能力,而忽略了其他問題, 其中ADHD兒童最常有的便是動作協調困難。外國研究指出若30-50%患有ADHD的兒童同時有這情況,亦因他們的大小肌肉發展問題,影響到他們的日常活動的能力及學業表現如穿衣、坐姿、抄寫、踏單車等。家長、老師很多會將ADHD/ADD兒童的動作協調問題歸究於他們不專心。但近年研究已證明他們的動作協調問題不是不專心引致,可以想像同時有ADHD/ ADD及動作協調困難的兒童每天也面對很大的挑戰。
