SECTION ONE
Out of all the assignments listed for this first case study this one was going to be the easiest. I knew who I could observe and it fit my time frame of a busy college student. What interest me about this assignment was how thoroughly detailed it is, there’s a lot of information I had to gather to make the over all message and meaning clear. You don’t hear about the motor development in children anymore, it’s all about intelligence now. What level does he or she read; does he or she know the alphabet? So I wanted to take the advantage to see the different motor skills in the different age groups I observed to get a better understand of how important it is.
SECTION TWO
There wasn’t a difference between the two ages beside the 4 year old not being able to do certain task. They both where able to do most of the task pretty well, although they did have different ways of doing them.
Their attitude was great! They where both motivated to keep doing the task even if they where having a hard time. They did not give up. The four year old was very proud to accomplish any task on hand while the 6 year old just wanted to hurry up and move on the next task. He kept asking, “what else now.” They where both very comfortable with doing any task.

At that age things are still growing and developing so there might be some task that three year olds can’t do yet compared to a 5 year old. The environment can also play a role as well; five to six year olds learn most of their gross motor skills in gym class. It’s where they learn how to skip and glop. So if a three year old was shown how to skip and do it on a regular bases, they might learn how to skip (or the movements). Along with growth the brain is also growing and learning new things. The brain might not fully understand how the leg is able to move like
