Impact of Excercise and Medical Care on early learning
Preschoolers need opportunities to exercise. To learn to
control and coordinate the large muscles in his arms and legs,
your child needs to throw and catch balls, run, jump, climb
and dance to music.
To learn to control and coordinate the small muscles in his
hands and fingers, he needs to color with crayons, put together
puzzles, use blunt-tipped-- safety--scissors, zip his jacket and
grasp small objects such as coins.
If you suspect that your child has a disability, see a doctor as
soon as possible. Early intervention can help your child to
develop to his full potential
Medical Care
Preschoolers require regular medical checkups, immunizations
and dental cre. It's important for you to find a doctor or a clinic
where your child can receive routine health care as well as special
treatment if she becomes sick or injured.
Early immunizations can help prevent a number of
diseasesincluding measles, mumps, German measles (rubella),
diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, hib (Haemophilus
influenzae type b), polio and tuberculosis. These diseases
can have serious effects on your child's physical and
mental development. Talk to your doctor about the
benefits and risks of immunization.
Beginning by the age of 3 at the latest, your child also
should have regular dental checkups.
