Importance of Physical Development

  • Develop their moving and handling skills
  • Helps to develop their Fine and Gross

motor skills

  • Not only strengthens muscles but helps

the development of the heart, lungs and brain.

  • Physical development also develops

shoulder stability, hand strength, and coordination – important for later movement skills including writing.

Fine and Gross Motor skills

  • Large muscle control develops before fine motor

control, so children need lots of opportunities to make big movements with their arms before they can develop the fine motor control needed for holding a pencil.

  • Small muscle control is important when the

children begin to write. It is the strength they have in their hands, which helps them to hold a

  • pencil. It is also important for their hand eye

coordination.

Each child will go through many different pencil grips. Do not force them to hold the pencil in a certain way. If they can form letters correctly, that is ok with us. They will find they own way of holding a pencil.
