Have them hold the object with their dominant hand and perform a series of actions with it, such as squeezing it, flipping it, and twirling it around. repeat the same actions with their non-dominant hand. Reflect on their experience.

5. Factors Affecting Physical Growth Nutrition delayed development health problems Physical activity poor muscle development obesity Sleep poor muscle development fatigue Stress disrupting their hormonal balance delayed Puberty Environmental toxins Pollution can disrupt growth

6. Infancy (0-12 months): Stages of Physical and Motor Development

7. Age Range Typical Characteristics Implications for Teachers Early Childhood 2-6 Years Old [preschool / kindergarten] Loss of babyish appearance, lengthening of arms and legs, looking more mature.

Age Range Typical Characteristics Implications for Teachers Adolescence 12-18 Years Old [ high school] Muscle Development: During adolescence, muscles become stronger and more defined Sexual Development: Adolescents experience significant changes in their reproductive systems Growth Spurts: Adolescents experience rapid growth during this period Physical Activity: Adolescents often become less active as they enter high school. Support emotional regulation: teachers can provide opportunities for mindfulness or other relaxation techniques to help students manage their emotions and make positive decisions. Encourage healthy habits: Teachers can encourage healthy habits such as regular exercise, healthy eating, and adequate sleep to support physical and motor development In what ways can a teacher get involve to help with the students well-being ?

12. Causes of Physical Disabilities It is important to have a good understanding of the student's condition and how it affects their abilities Cleft Lip/Palate Amputation Burn injuries Fractures Muscular Dystrophy: A genetic disorder that results in progressive muscle weakness and wasting.
