What are motor functions?

Motor functions are the special powers your body uses to move and do things like walk, run, grab toys, or even smile.

Imagine your body is like a robot that needs instructions from its brain to move around. Motor functions are those instructions, they tell your muscles what to do so you can move your arms, legs, or face.

Think about building with blocks. Your brain is like the person telling you which block to pick up and where to put it. Motor functions are like the messages that go from your brain down to your hands, they say "pick this one up" or "put it here." Without those messages, your hands wouldn’t know what to do!

When you’re running around the playground, your motor functions are working hard. They help your legs move fast and your arms swing by your side. It’s like having a team of helpers in your body who make sure everything moves just right, no magic needed, just teamwork!
