If you’d like to build your preschooler’s gross motor skills, make sure that you don’t forget about helping them move their body.

WHY PRESCHOOLERS SHOULD MOVE THEIR BODY

Your preschooler moving their body throughout the day is an important part of their development. Staying active keeps your preschooler’s body and mind healthy and performing their best. Your preschooler needs movement and exercise to keep their bones strong, and promote muscle growth. When your preschooler is active, their heart rate goes up, and gets more blood flowing through their body. More blood flow means more oxygen for your preschooler’s brain, which helps your preschooler stay focused, absorb more information, and even be happier.
