Physical Development in Children
Childhood development is based on five key areas of development: Physical, Cognitive, Social / Emotional, Sensory, and Language and Communication. Each of these key areas overlaps and interrelates with each other. Development encapsulates the creation of an environment for a child to build their ability to do new things and create interests contributing to their health, wellbeing and learning. Physical development, in particular, is a crucial area of development as it provides
children with the opportunity to move through new experiences and to engage with others. Engagement harvests learning, which further enhances Cognitive, Social / Emotional, Sensory, and Language and Communication skills. Physical development allows for the child to develop skills, to use their body to communicate, to learn how to work with and cooperate with others, and skills around awareness of their body and what their body can do. The end result is a child that is more confident and more independent.
Our Process
First, our friendly Exercise Physiologist will typically conduct an initial assessment which allows us to help our clients and their family identify their individual goals, and work through any barriers or concerns that may impact this.
Utilising a biopsychosocial approach, we help our clients better understand their injuries and illnesses, reassuring and supporting them throughout their program as it is normal to feel scared and overwhelmed with exercise and movement at times.
We provide ongoing support and advice to enable them to create long-lasting behavioural and lifestyle changes.
