Preschool children

Fine Motor Developmental Milestones.

The preschoolers fine motor skill are beginning to
develop the coordination she will need for later
writing.
He/her coloring skill are developing.
They start to perform many of their own self-care
tasks.

Physical development
In the age of 5, the preschoolers gross motor skills are
well developed.
They like to do something that tests their physical
strength and skill.



Their finger control increased and make them able to
pick up small objects, cut on a line with scissors, hold
pencil in adult grasp and string small beads.
The preschooler become an expert builder.



Middle childhood children
Growth
children grow at a slow consistent rate before reaching
a large growth spurt during adolescence.
Girls are slightly shorter and lighter than boys at ages 6
to 8, but by age 9 this trend is reversed.
The lower portion of the body is growing fastest at this
age period and children during this time appear long-
legged.
Girls have slightly more body fat and boys have more
muscle. After age 8, girls begin accumulating fat at a
faster rate.
Skeleton and muscular
The average weight increase during middle childhood
is 5 to 7 pounds a year whereas the average height
increase is 2 to 3 inches a year.
Therefore, by the age of 11 years, the average girl is 4
feet, 10 inches tall, and the average boy 4 feet, 9 1/2
inches tall.
Strength gradually increases due to heredity and
exercise, because of a greater number of muscle cells
boys are usually stronger than girls.

Motor skills
Their motor skills become smoother and more
coordinated than in early childhood.
Gross motor skills involve mastery of large muscle
movements while fine motor skills are those dealing
with dexterity.
As children get older they become more aware of their
bodies, and more able to control their physical
movements.
Children are able to keep their attention longer, and
have less distracting body movement.
