Happy ! When your 18-month-old feeds themselves with their fingers, it’s more than adorable; it’s an important sign of development! Here are the key benefits of this skill:

🌻 Shows your baby is strengthening fine motor skills

🌻 Builds the foundation for hand-eye coordination

🌻 Helps them learn hunger and fullness cues

🌻 Encourages sensory exploration

If you have any questions about your child’s development, talk to your child’s pediatrician or contact a Help Me Grow care coordinator at https://helpmegrowfl.org/ who will be able to connect you to necessary resources.

“Help Me Grow truly changes lives. When families feel overwhelmed or unsure, having a team that can screen, guide, and connect them to the right developmental resources makes an incredible difference.

As the Academic Clinic Director for the BayCare Kids Pediatric Residency Program, one of my greatest passions is teaching the next generation of pediatricians just how essential early developmental screening is. Watching our residents participate in community screenings with Help Me Grow has been inspiring. They gain hands on experience, and our families gain another layer of support.

I am grateful for partnerships that strengthen our community and help every child reach their fullest potential.”

- Carolyn Danzi Marasco
Academic Clinic Director, BayCare Kids Pediatric Residency Program
