Now days many children don't have enough outdoor play opportunities to develop their gross motor skills which can lead to fine motor delays. Fine motor readiness involves a lot more than putting Lego pieces together or swiping on an iPad.
Is your child physically ready for school? Use the fine motor skill & ability check to see.
