    Physical Development Summary

    Uploaded by

    Physical development is important from preschool through high school grades. In preschool, gross and fine motor skills improve as muscles grow stronger and brains better integrate movement information. Between ages 2-4, this is a critical time for physical development. In elementary grades, children vary in size but are aware of differences and physical activities are important for well-being. In middle school, puberty begins around age 10 for girls and 12 for boys, impacting self-esteem. In high school, late maturing boys and girls can have lower self-esteem initially but may be more creative as adults. Physical health, activity, and healthy role models are important throughout development.
