Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

Fine motor skills development allows children to execute vital tasks such as feeding themselves, writing, zipping their garments, and more. Small muscles that govern the hand, fingers, and thumbs are used in fine motor activity. Fine motor abilities assist youngsters in doing crucial tasks such as self-feeding, handling objects, and writing. The capacity to do self-care and everyday chores utilising fine motor skills promotes the development of a child's self-esteem and confidence.

Fine motor skills develop systematically in children. Most new-borns have a reflexive grip at birth and begin to reach for items about three months of age. They will also begin to practise their voluntary grip and two-handed palmar grasps. At 5 months, they should be able to demonstrate a one-handed palmar grip, and at 6 months, they should be able to create a controlled reach. Most new-borns begin to reach and grab for items to put in their mouth between the ages of 6 and 12 months, and they begin to gain the capacity to regulate the release of objects they are gripping. They will also develop a pincer grasp and use it to pick objects up (thumb and one finger).They will also be able to move an object from one hand to the other and drop and pick up their toys.

Most youngsters are interested in stacking building blocks between the ages of 12 and 24 months. They will also practise putting rings on a stick, putting pegs on a pegboard, and turning pages a few at a time. They can also begin to draw, paint with their entire arm movement, moving their hands and producing strokes, and feed themselves with little to no help.

Toddlers at the age of two can begin to string big beads, turn single pages, cut with scissors, and handle crayons with their thumb and fingers (instead of their fist). They will also be able to use only one hand for most tasks and begin to paint with their wrists, forming dots, lines, and circular strokes. Your youngster will also be able to eat consistently and without help. Most youngsters will be able to cut along the dotted lines on paper by the age of four. They will be able to draw a cross or square shape and write their name and the numbers 1 to 5. They will be able to copy letters and will have mastered their handedness. They will also be able to dress themselves for the first time.
