Hand-eye co-ordination

[MScott]

My three-year old is so clumsy and can't catch a ball - what should I be doing to improve his hand-eye co-ordination?

[adryley]

Any kind of ball game - including rolling it along the ground at right angles to him and asking him to stop it, throw and catch, hitting with a racket - will develop good hand-eye co-ordination.

Three years is very young to be catching a ball. Unless you have a prodigy, those kind of skills don't come in at an advanced level until 5 and six and the big leap forward is at around seven years old. But the earlier answer will no doubt help the process.
