CONT

Maintenant âgé de 3 ans, votre enfant marche, court, saute et aime bouger. Le développement de la motricité globale peut sembler moins significatif à cet âge puisque les acquisitions majeures telles que la marche sont déjà faites. Cependant, l'enfant continue de développer des habiletés importantes : il raffine ses mouvements et améliore sa coordination motrice, ce qui l'amène progressivement vers des activités sportives plus complexes.
