We caught a sweet parent-child moment while visiting Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. This adorable four-month-old was mouthing a Reach Out and Read Georgia bookmark and soon this cutie will be holding his bookmark and his book with his pincer grasp.
The pincer grasp is the coordination of the index finger and thumb to hold an item. While it may seem like second nature to an adult, to a baby this is an important milestone in fine motor development. The pincer grasp represents the coordination of brain and muscles that’s necessary to help them gain increasing independence. Excerpt from www.healthline.com.
