Psychomotor Development

Psychomotor development refers to the progression of physical skills and coordination in relation to brain development. It encompasses the way children learn to control their bodies through movements, such as reaching, crawling, walking, and later, more complex tasks like writing or playing sports. This development is closely linked to cognitive growth, as children learn to integrate their mental processes with physical actions. Understanding psychomotor development helps parents and educators support children in achieving milestones and fostering their overall growth in both physical and intellectual domains.
