    Study Notes

    Physical Development in Early Childhood

    • The physical development of a child progresses in a predictable pattern, with specific characteristics at different ages.
    • Cephalocaudal Trend: Development proceeds from head to toe. For example, infants develop the ability to use their upper limbs before their lower limbs.
    • Proximodistal Trend: Growth occurs from the center of the body outwards. For example, infants learn to turn their bodies before developing control of their hands and fingers.
    • Normative Development: Defines the typical abilities of children at a given age within a particular culture. It identifies the expected developmental range, helping parents and teachers understand what's typical at different ages.
    • Dynamic Development: Refers to the sequential changes in all aspects of a child's functioning over time.
    • Muscular Strength, Coordination, and Perception: Three key areas of development needed to perform complex physical tasks.
    • Large to Small Muscle Development: Larger muscles in the trunk, arms, and legs develop before the smaller muscles in the fingers, hands, and wrists.
    • Top to Bottom Muscle Development: Muscle development progresses from head to toe.
    • Inside to Outside: Muscle development moves from the center of the body outwards.

    Essential Skills for Primary School Physical Readiness

    • Develops from head to toe.
    • Develops from inside toward the outside.
    • Learning to walk, run, jump, and throw.
    • Skills that relate to manipulation, such as drawing and writing.
    • The ability to control fine motor movements, such as buttoning clothes or drawing.
