Research shows that early childhood is a critical period for developing motor skills and healthy habits. However, many kindergartens and schools focus predominantly on mental education, leaving physical literacy underemphasized. A comprehensive physical assessment helps identify areas of strength and areas needing improvement, providing a clearer picture of each child’s overall well-being.
By integrating valid and reliable assessments, we can ensure that children are developing essential motor and physical skills. These assessments offer tangible benefits that support both children’s physical development and academic success.
