Child Throwing

* The bending of the knees and the use of the leg muscle groups to perform the skill.

To better understand learning, the research and experimentation was conducted by a student. The purpose of this study was to examine a novice learner performing a skill, in which improvement, retention, consistency, adaptability and stages of learning would be tested. The individual chose juggling three beanbags for the skill to be learned. The subject had to learn how to juggle three beanbags at once using both hands. Practice was completed in one way to keep consistency; this included throwing small beanbags standing up in the same room. Hypothesis of the experimenter suggested greatest improvement of skill in the beginning to middle of testing. Learning would be accomplished. An increase in practice time and

Physical activity encourages children and young people to develop all their physical skills and to practice the skills that they already have. Your role in supporting a child’s physical development will be to ensure that the child has a wide variety of experiences of being in a safe environment. Any setting should offer a wide range of equipment that can be used both indoors and out. It is considered important that children are given opportunities to develop their gross motor skills indoors as well as outdoors. Such opportunities may be provided by designated areas such as soft play area or by activities such as drama.

Throwing is the one of the few things you could say that I am successful at. I have been around the sport and great throwers all my life. The hardest thing is knowing I will never reach my goals like they did. I have been throwing since the seventh grade. For some reason my dad never had me throw before then and I kind of wished that he did. I wish that I had started throwing sooner so I could have been a better thrower from the start. I still remember my first track meet like it was yesterday. The night before my dad had told me that he wanted me to be the best and would not accept anything else. Well, being twelve at the time that was a lot of pressure. I was already stressed out because my very first track meet was the next day. It was not like volleyball and basketball when my first game or match had been done way back in elementary school.

State Standard: Georgia, The Georgia Performance Standards for Physical Education are founded on the National Physical Education Standards established by the National Association for Sport and Physical Education. (NASPE) The Standards suggest what a physically educated

Observe three different physical play activities in your setting. Using the observation reports identify the physical skills children are developing. You need to consider the movement skills travel, object control and balance and coordination.

Through physical education and group activities the kids are learning to strengthen their coordination. Shooting baskets provided a variety of repeatable movements that will increase coordination, such as ball throwing and catching. Such physical skills will help children in athletic pursuits, dance and in everyday

Physical: Babies are born with very little ability to mobilise as they have not yet developed muscular control. However as every day passes they develop more muscle control and coordination. As they develop these skills their muscles strengthen which helps with further developing muscle control.

When the demands exceed a child’s cognitive and physical development, the child may develop feelings of failure, leading them to become more frustrated. Even if coaches are available to teach rules and skills, children may not be ready to learn or understand what is being taught. Furthermore, many coaches are not equipped to deal with the needs or abilities of children. Most youth sports coaches are volunteers with little to no formal training in development, although educational programs are available for youth sports coaches. Many basic motor skills, such as, catching, kicking, and hitting a ball, do not develop sooner simply as a result of introducing them to children at an earlier age. If these are taught or expected before the child is developmentally ready, it is more likely to create more frustration than success in the sport. Nonetheless, coaches may still try to teach what often cannot be learned and blame resulting failures on the athletes or themselves

So many children this day in age, are sat in front of a television or a tablet and expected to keep quiet. Children are built to explore, move, and learn from their experiences, and this cannot happen when a child is inside, being distracted by technology. No matter how busy parents are, they should find at least thirty minutes a day to go outside and play with their children. If the weather does not permit outside play, then playing games inside is always a great alternative. Parents should be encouraging their children to develop the motor skills that they are going to need in order to succeed in school and later in life. Many parents encourage the development of their children’s gross motor skills by involving them in sports, dance, or gymnastics. These programs are great for not only teaching children how to be good at something they love, but they also encourage children to develop their motor skills. If parents find that they cannot afford programs such as these, they can focus on providing multiple opportunities for play. For example, one day they could go to the park or they could go over the neighbor’s house to play. Ultimately, the best thing that parents can do to encourage the development of their children’s motor skills is to allow them to play as much as possible and to allow them to try new activities, even if they are

As children’s bodies become more streamlined and less top-heavy, their center of gravity shifts downwards toward the trunk. As a result, balance improves greatly, paving the way for new motor skills involving large muscles of the body. (Berk, 1999) During the preschool years until approximately age seven, fundamental motor skills develop including the locomotor skills needed to run, jump, hop, and skip. Also the object control skills such as throwing, catching, and kicking are developing. By the age of six or seven, children begin to integrate two or more of these skills. Though all children will not develop these skills at the same age, they will follow the same sequence.

When I taught the children aged 12-13 their motor skills were developed. Children aged around 6-7 are still learning skills therefor they barely have any motor skills. As I start to coach the six and seven year old children I realized that they make more errors that the twelve and thirteen year olds. The younger kids are making many large errors while trying to understand the task. For example shooting the basketball; the child may throw more left or right than centered for the hoop. The children will make the same mistake repeatedly because they are still learning how, exactly to do the same task. As a coach I would have to give simple instructions, model how to properly execute skills (dribbling, shooting, passing), and set clear goals. Once

The parameters used in these arguments are very basic and incredibly plain.They assume a very black and white world, and completely ignore many of the specific circumstances that lead to someone making a moral decision. Saving a child from drowning is not at all comparable to donating money to a child in Africa, one provides near instant feedback while another could take weeks, months, or even years to get any feedback from. One requires thought and planning while the other is an instinct based decision. Also, if you save a child from drowning that is a net good thing, it is something that is undoubtedly positive and, besides ruining your shoes, has no downsides, donating to a charity in Africa on the other hand is much more ambiguous, the

One activity that promotes physical development is creating an obstacle course in your child’s classroom or outside on the playground. In order to complete this task, you will need a beach ball, a rope, large empty boxes, and a Frisbee. The course will be broken up into five different centers. Within the first center the beach ball will be used. The child will throw the beach ball in the air and continue to keep it in the air. If the child is struggling with catching the ball the center can be modified by the child throwing the ball at the ground and then attempting to catch it. The beach ball

A few examples of Fine Motor activities displayed during the early years include handwriting skills, drawing pictures, making objects out of clay, and even cutting with scissors. Each of these activities is characterized by including the small-muscle developments that involve finger-thumb coordination, hand-eye coordination, and the development of muscle strength in the hand and arm. All in all, motor skills are an important part of the learning process, and as these “fundamental motor skills are learned...[they] serve as the foundation for more specialized motor skills that will be
