Preschoolers Growing And Moving

Preschoolers Growing And Moving

• Between the ages of three and five children gain greater control over their movements as their bodies change.
• They don't like sitting or standing still for long and learn from playing and copying others.
• Children need some outdoor physical activity every day. Make play safe and fun. You can provide water, sand and mud. Go for walks, climb trees, dig, bike ride and garden. Kicking, bouncing and throwing a ball is fun.
• Some children may seem a bit clumsy or uncoordinated. Sometimes there is an obvious reason. If you are concerned about your child's physical development see your doctor or child health nurse as soon as possible.
