Physical Development Tips

Children need physical skills to be successful in school. Daily opportunities to use large and small muscles should be provided.

Parents can help this process by:

Taking your child to a park to play on outdoor equipment.
Allowing your child time to dress her/himself.
Providing experiences with scissors such as cutting pictures from a magazine.
Providing opportunities to use crayons, markers, pencils and pens.
Providing opportunities for your child to experiment with balls, tricycles and jump ropes
