Gross motor skills - Are you ready for pre-kay

  • Gross motor skills refers to the child's ability to walk up and down the stairs one foot behind the other while holding on the rail and without fear.
  • The child should be able to kick a ball and not tumble down
  • The child should be able to throw and catch a ball 
  • The child should be able to run and keep up with her peers on the play ground
  • The child should be able to feed her self
These skills should be given during the infant/toddler years when the brain is growing the most  . The research shows that a child's brain is 85%  developed by age three .The experiences that are given before 3 years old can make a big difference when the child gets to school.

  1. Really enjoyed reading this post. It explains the importance of a supportive and creative learning environment for young children. Early education programs that encourage curiosity, independence, and collaboration can make a huge difference in a child’s development. I recently read a similar perspective about early learning approaches and found it very insightful as well: https://klanaperville.livejournal.com/935.html
