Answer to Question 1

ANSWER:
Transitions are an often neglected teachable moment. Teachers need to use every minute of the day. Transition become times to work on fine-motor skills through the use of fingerplays, buttoning and zipping their jackets, and tiptoeing. Gross motor activities used in transitions are twisting, bending, and stretching.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER:
Many physical milestones and the acquisition of motor skills occur during the first two years of life, everything from rolling over and sitting up alone to walking and running. These skills strengthen the network of synapses and become a permanent part of the brain. In adolescence, the brain begins to slough off excess synapses and keeps the ones that have been activated and experienced most often. Fostering physical growth and motor skills in young children can have a permanent effect on their lives.
