Description The present study was conducted in Hisar-1 block of district Hisar. From
Hisar-1 block, two villages i.e., Kaimri and Mangali were selected at random. One
hundred children in the age range of 3-4 years were selected randomly through
aganwadies from each village. Selected children were assessed for their motor motor
skills development with the help of observation checklist and Berry’s Development
Test of Visual Motor Integration (VMI) (1989). Maternal involvement in stimulation of
motor skills of the children were assessed though a self prepared
questionnaire-cum-interview schedule.
On the basis of assessment at pre-testing stage, fifty children each from the two
villages with lowest scores were identified as below average children. These children
were operationally defined as children with delayed motor skills. Children from Kaimri
village acted as control group children and children from Mangali village acted as experimental group children. Mothers of these children were also interviewed to assess
the involvement level in motor skills development activities of their children.
Stimulating programme was provided to experimental group children by
involving their mothers for a period of one month on alternate days. Post-testing of
children and mothers was done after a gap of one month to examine the impact of
stimulating programme. After implementation of stimulating programme there was
significant increase in scores of experimental group children. These results clearly
indicated the impact of stimulating activity programme on experimental group children.
Stimulating programme improved the motor skills of these children. Gain in scores of
experimental group children were significantly higher than those of control group
children. Maternal involvement in motor skills development activities also improved
significantly in experimental groups.
