    Join me for the final episode of our motor skills season, where we uncover the secrets of effectively supporting kids motor skills development through modelling and language. We explore how to make a significant impact on their understanding and performance, through the adults use of modelling, language and embracing mistakes for meaningful learning.

    We place a spotlight on the importance of modelling both gross and fine motor skills, using simple language and exaggerated actions to support complex motor movements. Discover how to break down body movements into large muscle groups, making it easier for children to replicate these actions.

    As we wrap up this enriching season, we reflect on the practical strategies and valuable insights we've shared to support children's motor skill development. Stay tuned for more engaging content in our upcoming episodes!
