Your Question?
Physical development is often linked with social and psychological development. Describe how they are interrelated and give some examples of experiences that support both areas of development?

What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
Im not really sure on this but are they interrelated because children that are at the same physical stage tend to bond with one another, where as a child who may be delayed in his motor skills may not be able to keep up with the other children? Am I on the right track? Also could I have some ideas on experiences which support both areas of development?

Description and Message:

[Lorina]

I was thinking more of the lines of that when children are involved in physical activity it is usually done so within groups of other children. Being part of a team or even kicking, throwing or catching a ball to another child, a child needs to develop social skills in order to interact and engage in play with others.

You may be find some experiences in Children's Activities and Games available in our Wiki...

Hope this helps,
