While healthy bodies grow and develop on their own, children need the support of adults to develop their physical abilities to the fullest and learn healthy ways of living. Adults support learning in this area by providing children with opportunities to exercise their large and small muscles in purposeful ways and by encouraging personal care skills and healthful behaviors.

This book focuses on the five key developmental indicators (KDIs) in Physical Development and Health:
16. Gross-motor skills
17. Fine-motor skills
18. Body awareness
19. Personal care
20. Healthy behaviour~
