Motor Skill Development Early childhood is the time period when most children acquire the basic skills for locomotion, such as running, jumping, and skipping, and object control skills, such as throwing, catching, and kicking (Clark, 1994). Children continue to improve their gross motor skills a...
There is a lack of consistency in the education of early childhood educators making professional development opportunities important. Professional development tools will aide in educating early childhood professionals and maintain consistency in the knowledge base of our educators. This synthesis project was...
From birth onwards, we grow in our motor skill abilities, whether through everyday activities or purposeful interactions. In this lesson, explore the journey of gross and fine motor skills acquisition! The Journey of Motor Skills Development Micah is holding the spoon firmly in his right hand....
Here's your inspiration to incorporate board games into your child's routine to set the stage and support fine motor skill development from early on. Little do they know that the fun of moving game pawns, rolling dice, and fanning out playing cards can play an important role in developing ...

Objective: In order to effectively promote physical activity (PA) during childhood, and across the lifespan, a better understanding of the role of early motor skill development on child and adult PA is needed. Methods: Here, we propose a conceptual model delineating the hypothesized influence of...
Despite the mentioned elements of relationship during development, the influence of gross motor training on fine motor skill enhancement in school age children has not been adequately assessed in the literature. Indeed, research has mainly focused on interactions between gross-fine motor skills and othe...
With a slight difference from other studies in regard to the causes of differences in motor development, the effects of two movement skill training programs on the movement skills of 10- to 11-year-old children were compared through the implementation of an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) [7]...
