Play gross motor games with your child that require coordination of words, movements and actions, such as “Hide & Seek” or “Ring around the Rosy”.
For older infants and babies, caregivers can initiate playful imitations that require gross motor skills, such as rolling or kicking a ball, which requires the child to move their body, arms and legs with coordination.
Researchers’ findings reveal the importance of social interactions, which allow children to experience behaviours that are associated with contributing to higher levels of coping and resilience.
Children’s course of development is significantly facilitated by appropriate, affective relationships with consistent caregivers as they relate to =them through play.
