Document Summary
Gross motor skills improve greatly during these early years. Between 2 and 4/5 years they muscles grow stronger, and their brains develop to better integrate information about movements. Balance improves and center of gravity moves lower: allows them to run, jump, climb, and hop. Their awkward wide-legged gait becomes smooth and rhythmic: they have perfected walking. Fine motor skills which require the coordination of small movements also greatly improve during the preschool years. They begin to develop a preference for their right or left hand: elementary school years. There is tremendous variation in who grows how much. They become taller, leaner, and stronger, so they are better able to master sports. Between 11 and 14 girls tend to be taller and heavier than boys: the adolescent years. At around age 10 girls breasts will begin budding and boys scrotum and testes will begin growing larger.
