Correct Answer - Option 1 : Physical development
Motor development refers to physical development and motor skill is simply an action that involves using muscles.
-
Gross motor skills are larger movements that a child makes with his/her arms, legs, feet, or entire body. So crawling, running, and jumping is gross motor skills. By 6 to 12 months of age, infants may be able to crawl, stand or walk.
-
Fine motor skills are smaller actions. When a baby/child picks things up between his finger and thumb or wriggles his toes in the sand, he’s using his fine motor skills. But it’s not just about fingers and toes. When the baby/child uses his lips and tongue to taste and feel objects he’s using fine motor skills, too. Fingers and toe muscles are the last to develop in physical/motor development.
Hence, it is clear that the harmony between gross motor and fine motor skills is physical development.
-
Cephalocaudal sequence refers to head to toe sequence: According to this principle, the child first gains control of the head first, then the arms, then the legs.
-
Proximodistal sequence means that development proceeds from the centre of the body towards the outer part of the body.
