Introduction
Children achieve gross motor skills in a predictable pattern. Each skill builds on the previous skill. After mastering sitting and crawling, children move on to upright locomotor skills. Learning how to pull to stand is a child's first bipedal skill. From here, they progress to walking and then to other advanced skills like running, hopping, skipping, and more. This course describes the general sequence of upright gross motor milestones and the specific developmental skills needed to achieve each milestone.
Aims
This course aims to describe advanced gross motor skills in children, including pulling to stand, cruising, walking and running.
