1. Do the child’s gross motor skills appear to be appropriate for his or her age? Yes, my child’s gross motor skills are appropriate for her age. Gross motor skills are the skills that represent the movement of muscles, such as walking and running. When I asked, Myrakl, to run she ran without any difficulties.

Myrakl holding the crayon in between her forefinger and her thumb showed her developmental relation to fine motor skills. Moreover, my data collection was the tasks I asked Myrakl to do such as running, hopping, and drawing. I also had Myrakl do a conservation test with water and play the candy
