Gross Motor Skills in Babies, Toddlers, and Preschoolers
Your little one will master a myriad of milestones in their first few years, and many of them involve gross motor skills. These "whole body" movements require coordination of the large muscle groups, like those in the legs, arms, and torso.
Gross motor skills are necessary for everyday activities like walking, jumping, balancing, kicking, running, and climbing. Mastering these skills lets your child perform everyday tasks like sitting at the table, playing in the park, and throwing a ball.
