10. Physical Development: Ages 2-5
Between the ages of 2 and 5, children experience significant physical growth, refining motor skills, coordination, and balance. Key milestones include running, jumping, climbing, and mastering fine motor skills like drawing and writing. Encouraging physical activity through play helps support healthy growth and development. Outdoor play is particularly beneficial, as it allows children to explore their environment and engage in gross motor activities. Providing opportunities for structured play, such as sports or dance, can further enhance physical abilities and promote teamwork. Islamic teachings encourage maintaining a healthy lifestyle, emphasizing the importance of physical well-being. Engaging children in activities that promote fitness aligns with these values, fostering a sense of responsibility for their bodies. By supporting physical development through active play and healthy habits, caregivers can help children build a foundation for lifelong health and wellness.
