But she also loves to paint and play with playdoh. She also loves buckling and unbuckling clasps and zippers. So I'd say she's pretty equal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-more-gross-motor-skills-or-fine-motor-skills-oriented#post-1737706 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 08:42:29 +0000 looch 1737706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fine motor until around age 3...then he learned how to jump and now he's gross motor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-more-gross-motor-skills-or-fine-motor-skills-oriented#post-1737696 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 08:39:17 +0000 yellowbird 1737696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think she's equally both. I never really compare though so maybe I don't know!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-more-gross-motor-skills-or-fine-motor-skills-oriented#post-1737695 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 08:39:09 +0000 Mrs. Lion 1737695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo is definitely gross motor, but fine motor arent far behind. Communication is where he is lagging behind a little. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-more-gross-motor-skills-or-fine-motor-skills-oriented#post-1737691 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 08:37:53 +0000 blackbird 1737691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>E seems ahead of the curve in gross motor skills that I wouldn't expect of a kid her age....like using forks...just kind of surprised how quickly she masters physical skills. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-more-gross-motor-skills-or-fine-motor-skills-oriented#post-1737665 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 08:29:13 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1737665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>both fine motor. </p> <p>charlie was average for gross motor, but he has some friends that are serious athletes! olive was behind in gross motor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-more-gross-motor-skills-or-fine-motor-skills-oriented#post-1737664 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 08:28:57 +0000 mrsjyw 1737664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think equally both. He's def all about running around and climbing things. But he also loves crafts, his matchbox cars, drawing, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-more-gross-motor-skills-or-fine-motor-skills-oriented#post-1737662 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 08:27:27 +0000 Foodnerd81 1737662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>C is more fine, for sure. She is also more verbal than physical-- like she was babbling much earlier than most of her friends the same age, but crawled on the slightly later side than average among our play group. Our friend's son is the exact opposite-- crawled early, walking before his first birthday, but didn't make any true babbling noises until a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-more-gross-motor-skills-or-fine-motor-skills-oriented#post-1737648 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 08:23:28 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1737648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ellie was 100% fine motor. Lorelei is equal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-more-gross-motor-skills-or-fine-motor-skills-oriented#post-1737632 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 08:19:48 +0000 Mamaof2 1737632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting - I have never thought of this but looking now DS is def more fine motor skills oriented and DD is gross motor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-more-gross-motor-skills-or-fine-motor-skills-oriented#post-1737627 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 08:18:02 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1737627@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Equally both. Her new big thing is to make necklaces and bracelets. My mom found my old caboodle case filled with beads and string, and Chloe has a field day hand picking beads and making her own jewelry. </p> <p>But she is just as happy to run around, climb, jump, and play outside! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-child-more-gross-motor-skills-or-fine-motor-skills-oriented#post-1737623 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 08:16:48 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1737623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J is gross motor skills all the way! Running, climbing, jumping, etc. But encouraging fine motor skills is a little harder. His attention span for coloring, puzzles, etc is a minute or two. I'm not worried since he's not behind or anything but I wonder if most kids tend to be one over the other...?</p> <p>(Multiple options for multiple kids </p>
