As your child grows and becomes more active, he starts to learn through movements. Learning how to move is crucial for a child’s development and optimal functioning as it shifts dependency on others to eventual independence. It also helps the child develop the necessary mobility skills for navigating through the physical environment. This is the most natural way for a young child to learn about himself or herself, others and surroundings. Hence, learning to move and learning through movement contribute to the cognitive, psychomotor, physical and effective development of the child. The early years of rudimentary and fundamental motor development provide the foundation upon which all other movements and sports skills are built. Positive early movement and play experiences can enhance the quality of a child’s life and influence decisions about life-long recreational and sporting pursuits. Children have a natural urge to move and if given the appropriate opportunities and encouragement, can reap immense benefits from being physically active and fit.
