Physical Development
In terms of physical development, Nora is very advanced for her age. In order to fully assess her physical development in terms of gross motor skills, I asked Nora to join me in a game of simon says. I asked if she thought we could check off all of the tasks on my list, and she excitedly accepted the challenge. Nora is able to walk as well as an adult forwards and backwards. She can skip and gallop and also has great balance. When asked to stand and hop on one foot, she did so with ease and could balance for at least seven seconds on each foot.

Her milestone checklist shows just how successful she is compared to other children her age, and her bubbly personality can light up a room. She has achieved many great things developmentally, and still has room to grow and to develop her skills in the
