How Do Zippers Develop Children's Coordination?

Children's coordination ability refers to the ability of all parts of the body to cooperate with each other to complete specific actions. If the baby's body parts are not well coordinated, it is difficult to do a thing well. His or her activity ability will be very poor, impeding child's growth process. For example, the reason why Xiao Ming can't lift his foot correctly is that his coordination ability is not well developed.

For children, they face a variety of development tasks (such as taking things, writing, drawing, etc.). Fine motor ability is not only an important basis for these activities, but also an important indicator to evaluate children's development. The act of pulling zipper belongs to fine movement, which is beneficial to the cultivation of children's coordination ability. Here are the steps to teach your child to pull zipper.

Understand the structure of mental zippers

You probably won't use all of these terms when teaching your child to zip. You probably say something like "Ok, now pull this down." However, the following mental zipper terminology will help you understand what the following images mean so that you can explain the whole process to your baby.

Chain teeth: a toothed part distributed on the left and right sides of a zipper.

Pin box: a long narrow rectangular part under one end of a chain tooth.

Socket: a square part under the other end of the chain.

Zipper slider: a mechanical device that can move up and down. When the zipper puller is at the bottom, it should be just above the socket.

Zipper puller: a component used to pull a zipper.

Put on the jacket

You should flatten the jacket so that the clothes and zipper are flat in front of the child's body. If the rose gold metal zipper is not smooth, it will be more difficult to pull.

Set the zipper slider

Push the zipper slider down so that it stops just above the socket under the closed end metal zipper. Then, you should have the child grasp the bottom two sides of the zipper with each hand.

Close the zipper slider to the pin box

At this point, you need to ask the child to pick up one end of the pin box and insert it into socket on the other side. This is a difficult step. If the sides are not fully closed, the baby can't zip up.

Practice

In daily life, you can use your nylon jogger zipper or rollo invisible zipper as a tool for your child to practice. You should have your baby hold on to the closed end of the zipper with one hand. Then the child's other hand should grab the zipper slider. If the baby has difficulty pulling it up, you need to spread the jacket on the floor.

In order to develop children's coordination, zippers should be kept at home. LONGQI is a manufacturer of zippers and zipper accessories. It is closely connected with customers to provide better services for customers.
