Hello.I am working on a small report for one of my courses which compares/contrastssome of the motor skills development of 5-6 year olds. Could a couple peoplehelp a bit? Just post the results if you could. Thanks a lot! If possible letme know if the child is a boy or girl and if the age is 5 or 6 or if it isreally close...just before 5 or just after 6 it would help too. This would really really help me out! :-)Some of these may not be possible at all as some my not be possible for thisage group of children. Thanks.Just answer as to if the skill is 1) pretty much mastered 2) moderate skill 3)action could not be performed1. Jump forward with feet together?2. Tie shoes?3. Draw a building?4. write their name?5. hop on one foot for several feet? 6. cut a straight line with scissors? Thanks for your help.
