How to Ensure Physical and Motor Development at ECCE
Physical and motor development refers to the progression of a person’s physical abilities and skills, including their growth, coordination, and motor control. It encompasses various aspects such as gross motor skills (e.g., walking, running, jumping) and fine motor skills (e.g., grasping objects, writing). Throughout childhood and adolescence, individuals typically experience significant changes in their physical development, including increases in height, weight, muscle strength, and coordination. These developments are influenced by a combination of genetic factors, nutrition, environmental factors, and opportunities for physical activity and exercise. Adequate physical and motor development is important for overall health, independence, and participation in various daily activities.
