Parenting Tips for Your 43-44 Month Old Child

Here are tips to promote physical play with your child:
- Give your child chances for physical play daily.
- When setting up an outdoor play area, include various types of play equipment that give your child the opportunity to work on all types of motor skills.
- Become an advocate for outdoor play. If your child is in a childcare setting, find out what their policy is on outdoor play and insist that it be part of the daily schedule, when appropriate.
- Take the time to learn activities for development of your child’s motor skills.
- If you do not have room in your home for physical play, make the effort to take your child somewhere that there is enough room, such as the park.
