These are considered as fine motor skills(U of M, 2010). .
In the stage of five to six years, there are not big differences in physical development between boys and girls until they become late primary schoolers; it means that they grow in similar height and weight. However, there are differences by comparison with gross motor and fine motor skills. Boys' gross motor skills develop a bit faster, while girls' fine motor skills enhance first. Boys are also more physically aggressive and active than girls(baby center, 2015). .
Physical development is very important for early childhood because it is connected to a children's health directly. For that reason, people who are studying early learning and child care have to recognize how essential to know about children's physical development. To improve children's physical and motor skills, educators apply appropriate age-related activities. For example, they can set up running and jumping games, bike rides and playing with balls for gross motor skills; they can also make their children draw and write something, do puzzles, play with manipulative toys, and do simple crafts for fine motor skills. .
Language.
Children will be able to communicate confidently when they become five to six years old. However, they may still struggle to communicate long stories or complex ideas and have the same difficulty with understanding complicated directions so adults have to explain things in a clear and straightforward way to them. Five to six year-old children have a sentence length of five to six words and vocabulary of around two thousand words. They also know words related to space such as on, top, behind and near. In addition, they can tell their address, common opposites like big or little, and ask questions for information.
