The lack of fine motor skills is one of the biggest issues that the Southington elementary school principals are seeing with children entering Kindergarten. Fine motor skills is the coordination of small muscle movements—usually involving the synchronization of hands and fingers—with the eyes. These skills are utilized in Kindergarten through writing, cutting with scissors, artwork and other projects. When child don’t have the muscle strength or coordination to do these activities, they struggle and become frustrated.
