Physical development in the early years refers to the growth of the body and brain from birth through early childhood. This includes changes in body size, muscle strength, balance, co-ordination, sensory development, and skills such as movement and handling. Physical development is a foundational area that enables children to engage with the world around them and lays the building blocks for later physical capabilities and health.
