Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies show that playgrounds with a range of equipment provide a variety of opportunities for children to develop motor skills at their own pace and level. This allows for individual differences in motor development and can help children improve their overall physical abilities. Additionally, children learn best through exploration and play, so structured, direct instruction may not be necessary for many motor skills. Daily routines such as pouring juice and dressing can also help develop fine and gross motor skills. Perfecting the "correct" technique may not be necessary in early childhood and could inhibit children's creativity and enthusiasm for physical activity.
