In this episode of Early Years Together, Dr Jacqueline Young and Deborah Brown explore the importance of core strength, coordination and gross motor development in the early years. They discuss how physical development underpins children's learning, communication, confidence and independence, while sharing practical strategies that practitioners and parents can use to support children's development through play.
Don't forget to join us next time when we'll be discussing fine motor development and pre handwriting skills.
