Motor skill

Physical Development The two main areas of physical development are gross & fine motor skills. Gross motor skills use the larger muscles in the body like arms & legs. Rolling over, crawling, walking, running and jumping are all gross motor skills. Fine motor skills use the smaller muscles in the body, like fingers & toes. Writing, painting, pointing, grasping and reaching are examples of fine motor skills. Fine motor skills alsto eye coordination. Activities to promote Physical Development

Motor: Lilly has made vast improvements in developing her motor skills over the years. When she was born, the doctors felt that she would never be able to walk or control certain parts of her body, but she proved them wrong. While she isn’t able to move as quickly or effectively as the other children her age at times, Lilly is still able to function efficiently. This being said, her fine motor skills could be strengthened because they tend to hold her back at times. For example, she has a little

toddlers and how the use of these toys may be affected by the principles of assimilation and accommodation, according to Feldman (2014). Piaget’s theory will be explained this author will also explore how these toys help in developing gross and fine motor skills. Feldman (2014) states that “Piaget’s Theory is based on a stage approach to development” (p.144). It is supposed that children move through a series of similar stages in a particular order from the time of birth to adolescence. Feldman

of the development and growth concern. Also, prevent any further delays and enabling prompt and essential interventions to take place; to enhance growth and development. The developmental assessment will examine cognitive, language, motor, and social-emotional skills (Burns, Dunn, Brady, Starr, & Blosser, 2013). Each developmental tool used should be compatible with the age of the child; to ensure accurate results. The Receptive-Expressive Emergent Language (REEL) Scale can be used to address speech

impact on motor and sensory skills, which is affecting children mentally and physically within their environment. As an example, if sensory stimulation isn’t prominent, “this results in delays to attaining developmental milestones” (Rowan, 2015, pg. 1). It is important to be aware of technology’s impact to allow parents and educators to make smart decisions for a child. An overuse of screen time is effecting the proper development of motor and sensory skills. Motor and Sensory skills are very sensitive

This topic considers what the physical development of children in ‘middle childhood (6-10)’ is, and how their physical needs in the learning environment can be accommodated. The key elements taken into consideration would be the development of motor skills for the selected age group and the influences of the specified group. The benefits of physical activity and the consequences of prolonged inactivity, how a student’s development can be facilitated or restricted through development in other areas

all types of skill development. From personal experiences, people can conclude that there is more to games and activities than just expending energy to relieve and calm younger children. The main focus of my ideas is mainly directed towards motor skills, relationships and how they contribute to student learning, and setting and achieving goals as well as the five areas to which I set beliefs, theories, and assumptions. Children, especially young, need to learn basic motor skills to make their

disabilities with their balance, thanks to the stimulating movements of the horse (Biery et. al. 1). Motor skills have improved after just a few sessions in equine therapy, whether it be riding or hippotherapy (Snider et. al. 1). In addition, researchers have found that social skills have improved with equine therapy (Bass, Dunchowny & llabre 1266). The reason for the improvement in social skills is because in therapeutic riding lessons, children are given the chance to interact with other individuals

Technology Should Not Replace Gross Motor Play Introduction During the first years of a child, Gross motor skills are fundamental to their development. These years are identified by many as the "Preschool Years." During that time is when we begin to expose children to a variety of techniques and activities that increase their gross motor skills in both indoor and outdoor settings, because they are essential for this age group. Of course we now that these stages are general and all children develop

programs such a preschool programs on future development, the positive interactions that children experience during early intervention programs are seen to be correlated to their future developmental skills in a positive manner. Although heritability has the potential to alter ones developmental skills, there are still many different modes to which most children can pertain information and in turn develop. The positive effects seen in the future are attributed to daily access and use of technology
