Parental Support of Early Physical Development

The focus of this Discussion is on early physical and motor development and the role that parents can play in supporting this development.
Please respond to the following:
Imagine that you are a psychology professional working with first-time parents, Mark and Nicole, and you are providing these parents with information on infant and early childhood physical development. Their son, David, is an 11-month-old infant who can crawl and stand up holding onto something. He can build a tower of two cubes and he can scribble vigorously.
How do David’s motor skills compare to the gross- and fine-motor skill milestones described in Chapter 5 of your textbook? Should Mark and Nicole be concerned if David does not reach the milestones at the average age listed in the table? Why or why not?
In providing advice to Mark and Nicole, what are some everyday experiences they can provide for 11-month-old David to support mastery of reaching, grasping, sitting, and crawling?
Many Western parents provide preschoolers with early training in gymnastics, tumbling, dance, soccer, and other movement skills through organized classes (Berk, 2021). Mark and Nicole want to do everything they can to support David’s athletic development so that when he reaches early childhood he will be able to take part in some organized classes.
What advice would you give Mark and Nicole regarding the athletic development support they can provide David in these early years?
