- Exercises focusing on head control, crawling, and sitting are encouraged.
- Carrying infants in laps or using high chairs/walkers is detrimental to motor development.
- Electronic media exposure should be avoided.
Early Childhood (3-7 years)
- This age promotes motor and sensory skill development.
- Daily physical activity strengthens bones, muscles, heart, and lungs.
- Exercising helps maintain healthy weight and mental development.
- Encouraging participation in activities, not competition.
Late Childhood (8-12 years)
- Exercise enhances cognitive development.
- Encouraging teamwork and participation in sports.

- Bow legs develop when there is a significant gap between knees when feet are together.
- Causes include deficiencies in calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, and obesity.
