Gross Motor

Gross motor skills are crucial for connecting the dots in your child’s development.

They describe how our bones, nerves, and big muscles work together to create body movements such as standing, crawling, and walking. Gross motor skills also include areas such as balance and coordination. These big movements range from simple to complex and are used by all people from newborns to professional athletes.
