Important Gross Motor Development Milestones of Children

This video explains the gross motor development milestones of children. The skills required to control the large muscles of the body in order to walk, run, sit, crawl and do other motor activities are called the gross motor skills. Gross motor development delay, if not intervened early, will prevent the child from acquiring the skills for sitting, standing or walking properly and can lead to motor disability in the future. This will have long lasting negative impact in the child’s life. The most critical period for the development of gross motor skills is infancy. The first year of life is the most important period in gross motor development because this is the period when the brain plasticity is at its peak and hence there is maximum potential for improvement in developmental milestones, according to the stimulation given. It is essential that every parent should be given awareness regarding gross motor development milestones. Milestones of gross motor development serve as a guide to normal motor development. The knowledge about the milestones will give awareness to parents to determine when a child will need scientific developmental stimulation. Early interventions should be started immediately in infancy itself whenever there is developmental delay and the gross motor skills of the child can be made normal and the child will be able to sit, walk, climb and run normally in future.
