Preschool age is a unique and crucial period in which the foundations of personality are laid, the will is developed, and social competence is formed. In preschool children, speech delay is often observed. What is the reason for the speech delay? Parents usually get advice – talk more with your child. Observations have shown that the level of speech development is directly dependent on the degree of formation of fine finger movements. The attitude of hands to humanity has always been special. Hands produced fire, food, they protected and built a home. It is no accident that in the Russian language many expressions are associated with hands: «Master of all trades», «Golden hands», «Hand on heart», «As a hand removed». Therefore, training the movement of the fingers and the entire hand is the most important factor that stimulates the child's speech development.
