ITEM INFORMATION
Encouraging Physical Activity In Toddlers (moving Matters Series)
Author: Steve Sanders
Description/subjects/tags:
Even though encouraging physical activity is not a problem with toddlers, you can model new movements and skills and lay the foundation for enjoying physical activity as they grow. Toddlers need lots of time to master the basics, such as jumping, rolling, and balancing. As they become more comfortable with their bodies and confident in their ability to be physically active, their desire to participate will increase. They'll enjoy kicking and throwing different types of bails, walking up and down stairs, running outside, and pedaling tricycles. Most of their physical activity involves unstructured play, and rightly so. However, you can also introduce them to new equipment with structured play and then let them explore on their own or with playmates. If you help toddlers understand how to develop physical skills, you will help them build confidence and have fun being active. What a gift for a lifetime! Book jacket.
