Children all grow and develop at different rates.
Chronological age provides a guideline only for acquiring
physical skills, as each child brings to the home and early
childhood setting their own challenges, experiences, abilities
and needs in movement. Children will learn and develop
their movement skills through learning opportunities where
they can be guided, encouraged and then able to practice
with themselves, with other children and with adults. As
active educators be aware of this concept, so emphasis is
put on the whole child’s learning.
Children with disabilities have the same desire and need
to develop physical skills and physical fitness. An Active
Movement approach develops basic knowledge and skills
and presents simple experiences for all children, taking into
account their individuality.
Kids are more often disinvited
than they are disinterested or disabled
Dr William Watson Purkey, 2003.
