Answer to Question 2

ANSWER:
Physical development contributes to a childs self-concept. With practice comes a sense of competence because children can learn to relax as they gain experience in physical activities and reduce the stress of anticipating failure. Competence breeds self-confidence and a willingness to try greater challenges. Children gain great satisfaction from discovering their own physical strengths and limitations.
