Description
Jernice Tan and Michael Chia present a 2024 study of motor skills in young children in Singapore, measured with a standard test battery. The battery spots motor delays in children worldwide, but no local data existed for Singapore. Without norms, clinics must lean on British reference values.
The team tested 175 children aged three to six and compared them with United Kingdom data. Skills grew with age on all tasks. Singapore children did better at balance but worse at aiming and catching. Girls beat boys at hand dexterity and still balance. The authors urge more object play in early years and the building of local norms.
