Resource Description:

In this exemplar video, a teacher provides an infant with opportunities to engage in gross motor movement by encouraging reaching, leaning, and body control during a routine activity. Notice how the teacher positions the child to support balance and allows repeated attempts at whole‑body movement while staying close for safety, an example of providing opportunities that support the development of gross motor skills.
