Your 3-year-old is now over the challenging ‘terrible twos’ stage. She has transformed into an increasingly self-assured, in-control, ever-curios and active child, now known as a pre-schooler. Your child is growing even more independent, but is also driven by the need to please others, especially you. Perseverance, curiosity, and a positive attitude are the trademark attributes of most pre-schoolers. Yet, don’t be surprised if there are occasional tantrums, public meltdowns and whining. Developmental milestones Your child should be potty trained by now. However, sometimes accidents might happen. Do not make a big deal of this. She can go upstairs and downstairs without support. You will need to teach her to use the hand railings so that there are no mishaps. She may be able to hop and jump, but will not have perfected the skill. Some pre-schoolers take a little longer to be able to do this. Your child may also be able to kick a ball backwards or forwards, but might take some time to catch a ball. She would be able to use scissors without cutting herself, though you will still need to supervise her and give her only blunt ones. She can probably draw circles and squares. She will be able to understand that a stick figure, with stick hands and legs, stands for a person, but may not be able to reproduce it. Chances are that, when you give her colors and crayons, she will scribble something and then label it later after she has finished it. She will be able to use

From 3 to 7 years the child’s movements will be more coordinated. They will learn to balance when hopping, skipping and playing with balls. The fine pincer grip when holding pens, pant brushes will be more defined.
When a child has a disability or impairment, one of the biggest concerns is how those issues will affect that child’s education. Because of this concern, there are laws and contracts in place for children and their families to make sure they are legally guaranteed an education. Part B, Part C, and 504 plans are law ensuring services for students with disabilities or impairments to assure that these students get the accommodations or modifications they need to get the best education they can.
Physical Development: Large Motor Skills; Jump with feet together, walk on tip toes Throw a ball with aim and walk up and down the stairs. Fine Motor Skills; painting, threading beads on a lace, gain control over food utensils, use scissors and hold pencil to draw house and
During the toilet training process, a child must obtain body awareness and be able to associate bodily sensation to the result that follows, poop or pee. Then after he masters that skill he must acquire the certain skills that will allow him to picture what he wants to do (use the toilet), create a plan to get here, begin using it, and remain in place long enough to finish, which requires both memory and concentration (Wolraich 26). The next and probably most difficult readiness sign a parent must recognize before starting the toilet training process is emotional growth.
| At the age of three the child is able to stand in one leg, jump up and down and is able to draw circles and crosses. Also the child prefers to play more games as they want to do something new all the time. There are many other physical things that I child can do at this age; throw a ball with aim, pedal, use scissors, climb with confidence, be able to paint, thread beads on a lace and is also able to catch a ball thrown gently towards them.
Children between the ages of 3-5 start to gain at least 4-5 pounds (in weight) and grow about 2-3 inches taller per year. Younger children are still developing their motor skills, for example using their arms and legs to play and by doing arts and crafts, puzzles and painting. By the age of 5 children are usually able to hop on one foot and are learning how to skip. Playing becomes very imaginative for them as they bring in fantasy and book characters into their games.

* The child can draw circles, lines and dots, using preferred hand (2 years old)
As children’s bodies become more streamlined and less top-heavy, their center of gravity shifts downwards toward the trunk. As a result, balance improves greatly, paving the way for new motor skills involving large muscles of the body. (Berk, 1999) During the preschool years until approximately age seven, fundamental motor skills develop including the locomotor skills needed to run, jump, hop, and skip. Also the object control skills such as throwing, catching, and kicking are developing. By the age of six or seven, children begin to integrate two or more of these skills. Though all children will not develop these skills at the same age, they will follow the same sequence.

In the “Fall of the House of Usher” the unknown narrator goes to his friend’s house. His friend’s name is Roderick and he has a sister named Madeline. When he sees the house he realizes the atmosphere of the house is kinda depressing and dark; he notices one crack on the house. Roderick and Madeline are the only two Usher’s left; they seem to be the only hope for the “Usher’s” family name to continue. The narrator describes the house as “An atmosphere which had no affinity with the air of heaven, but which had reeked up from the decayed trees, and the gray wall, and the silent tarn — a pestilent and mystic vapor, dull, sluggish, faintly discernible, and leaden-hued.
She may one day need physical therapy for this but as of right now she participates in activities such as swimming and using the monkey bars on a play set. She is also always made to carry her bags, and once or twice a week she and her father have fake push up competitions. As a result of her weaker upper trunk she may one day have trouble in fine motor skills, such as forming her letters, but so far she has developed normally.
According to the principal of utility I would write off the cost of the surgery. Paola states that, "actions are right in proportion to their tendency to promote happiness, wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness" (Paola, Walker, & Nixon, 2010, p. 27). By providing the surgery it would provide happiness and pleasure to all involved. The patient would experience happiness and pleasure through the reduction of pain and relief that there was no financial burden to the family. I would enjoy the intrinsic pleasure of being able to assist another individual who might otherwise be in a state of constant suffering.
Motor skills involve movement of muscle in the body (John, 2009). These are larger movements such as crawling, running, and jumping (John, 2009). Most of the gross motor development occurs during childhood (John, 2009). Gross motor skills have two principals that determent how a child will regularly develop (Center of diseases Control and Prevention, 2016). Head to toe development this means the upper parts of the body will develop before the lower parts of the body (John, 2009). Children develop these skills throughout play (John, 2009). A tree year old Toddler can be very active therefore participating in activity that require movement, coordination, and balance can be beneficial to help a toddler to develop their motor skills (Jan, Beth & Melissa, 2012). A 3 year old child can throw a ball but catching it is more difficult. They start walking with good posture similar to an adult; they can also walk backwards (Jan, Beth & Melissa, 2012). A 3 year old can run which required strength and balance, during running they should be able to rotate their trunk and swing their arms (John, 2009). By the age of 3 a child walks up and down stairs alternating their feet without support which is possible because their balance has increase (John, 2009). A 3 year old child also learns to jump from a step and learn to jump forward (Center of diseases Control and Prevention, 2016). They start hopping at the age of 3 ½ and also can stand on one foot (Center of diseases Control and Prevention, 2016). Skipping requires sequencing and rhythm which makes it more difficult this include step and hop patterns.
