Physical Development: Building Strong Foundations for Growth

Physical development
 

Learning is transmitted through large muscles; when learning goes from hand to the head, not the other way around. In the early years paper and pencil activities are far less useful teaching tools, on the whole, than hands-on activities. Teachers make sure that children have plenty of opportunities to use large muscles in balancing, running, jumping, climbing, and other vigorous movements.
