Abstract: "Physical development is the window to the whole child. Through watching children move, they reveal their true selves." This groundbreaking book bridges the gap between theory and practice, offering a deeper understanding of young children's physical development in outdoor environments. It explores the specific phases of motor development, the skills children acquire and how these are closely linked to cognitive growth. This resource provides clear and accessible guidance on promoting children's well-being, the links between language and physical development, creating environments that encourage growth, and emphasising the adult's role in supporting and facilitating progress. Written for those working with children aged 2-6, this book serves as a practical reference guide for staff, offering adaptable resources, or as a starting point for additional study and research. Topics covered include: (1) the importance of physical development; (2) stages of growth, development and maturity; (3) creating environments that nurture physical development; (4) the role of the adult; (5) supporting parents and caregivers; and (6) making achievable and measurable changes. Featuring full-colour photographs, activities and rich case studies, this book equips early years educators with the tools they need to fully support children's physical development in outdoor settings.
