Your child is now 5 years old, and has started holding scissors. He understands its use and tries to cut things by himself. His motor skills have gradually developed which will enable a better grip in cutting.
What you can do
At first, you should select a good scissor which fits your child’s hands. Begin with a plastic scissor. Help your child in proper hand placements so that his first step to cut with scissor is correct. Sit beside him and supervise.
Cut with another scissor as he can have a visual experience and will follow it. Cutting will strengthen your child’s hand muscles and the efficiency of the use of his tripod fingers. Practice regularly starting with a straight line cut. Side by side stress on the safety rules which should be followed while using scissors. Also, tell him that scissors are only for cutting papers and he should never walk with scissors or keep it on bed or chair. Encourage as well as enhance his cutting skills.
Give him shapes to cut. Gradually, he will learn to give a smoother finish to his cutting skills. With your supervision and guidance your child can enjoy it and develop his motor skills to a much higher level. This particular task involves hand and eye coordination which will help your children to progress in studies as well sports and make a mark for themselves.
Planning for Your Child’s Financial Security
The growth and success of your child are not only associated with education and skills; the small decisions you make today as a parent firmly lay the groundwork for your child's secure tomorrow. When it comes to financial security, life insurance is an effective tool. You can choose from various types, such as whole life insurance, endowment plans, ULIPs, term insurance, and more.
You can also opt for a 1 crore term insurance policy, which offers robust coverage at low premiums that fits within your budget. You can also use a term insurance plan calculator to tailor your policy based on your requirements and your child’s goals. Remember, selecting the appropriate plan based on needs is critical so your child has adequate funds to fulfil all their dreams.
