CAVEATS

While many of the babies in the study reached for the toy, not all did. And of those who reached for it, not all were able to successfully grasp and hold it. And while the majority of the babies who showed a hand preference were right-handed, your own little slugger just might be a southpaw.

THE TAKEAWAY

Welcome to the world of the carrot and the stick. Expect to be dangling incentives in front of your kids for the next 18 years. From your child’s perspective, this is a task that demands a significant amount of hand-eye coordination and the ability to anticipate an object’s direction of movement, both skills that will help him rack up high scores on video games and win stuffed animals at carnival booths later in life. To help him further develop these skills, practice rolling and chasing balls across a floor or let him play with small mechanical toys with simple movement patterns.
