Gross motor skills are intended not only for development, but also for normal physical and mental health of the child.

  • Makes the child stronger and hardy;
  • Develops coordination;
  • Develops the speech.

Children with of whom parents actively take care of its "motive" development:

  • better sleep;
  • are capricious less;
  • eat better;
  • develop quicker.

Children who learned to go have to walk more on walk, but not sit in a carriage. Inactive children, begin to speak later and can lag behind in development the peers, even on condition of well developed fine motor skills. It is not enough to breathe simply air. 

What to begin development with

  • Lead active lifestyle;
  • Walk in the fresh air more;
  • Do morning exercises with the child;
  • Do massage to the child who does not go yet;
  • Classes on "fitball" perfectly will be suitable for kids about one year;   
  • Play a ball with kids - you teach them to throw, to catch, kick a ball with a leg;
  • You teach the child in process of growing – to run, jump, climb a rope, a ladder, etc.;
  • You teach the child to go on socks and the Piglet;
  • You teach the child to go the back;
  • To learn to carry out inclinations a trunk;
  • You teach the child to go on hands – lift him for legs and "you drive", children love such games;
  • You teach the child to ride the scooter and the bicycle;
  • Dance houses with the child.

On walk with the child, often I notice children constantly sedentary in a carriage or in a sandbox. Of course such walks are very convenient to mothers, but they are not effective. If the child in a day moved a little, he will worse fall asleep for daytime and night sleep. And also to be capricious more during the day. Play with the child, entice him in outdoor games. But you should not forget also for development of fine motor skills, everything has to be moderately.

  • Important! Do everything in order that the child moved at home and on walk more. Between physical and intellectual development close interrelation.

Gymnastic activity, physical education and also active games - the risk of development of such diseases as reduces:

  • Flat-footedness;
  • Scoliosis;
  • Weakness of a muscular corset.

At children is more senior than 3 years most simply to develop gross motor skills. They can be given on dances or to sports sections. Swimming is one of useful sports for the child at any age. The most important in development of gross motor skills - the movement.
