Overview

Gross motor skills development refers to the process by which children acquire and refine the abilities to control large muscle groups and engage in whole body movement. This development typically begins in early childhood, with most children able to stand, walk, and run by the age of two. Children can stand and walk by the age of 12-14 months. Exposure to outdoor play time activities can have a positive impact on the development of gross motor skills.
