Tiny Tidbits
Starting from birth, all important things in a child's life go into the mouth. This is natural. The baby's first, unco-ordinated efforts soon give way to great arm sweeping pulling of everything towards the mouth. The next stage will be witnessed by intentional hand grasping of large objects and putting them in their mouth. The last refinement of motor skills involves the child being able to pick up very small items e.g. dropped and thought lost pills, and flaking paint chips, and putting them in their mouths. When childproofing any room, look for even the smallest morsels of anything and pick it up!
