| In the growth process of young children,the ages of 4-6 are a critical period for the development of gross motor skills and social development.Gross motor skills not only play a fundamental role in motor development,but also promote the physical and psychological health of young children.Social development is crucial for the psychological development of young children.The early socialization of young children is the foundation for their normal learning,communication,and subsequent development.Research objective: This study tested the gross motor skills and social development of 175 young children and described and analyzed their developmental levels.By exploring the relationship between the two,we provide theoretical basis for promoting the physical and mental health of young children through exercise,and also enrich the research in the field of gross motor skills and social development.Research methods: In this study,the TGMD-3 was used to conveniently sample and test 175 young children from five kindergartens in Luannan County to evaluate their gross motor development.We used literature review,video observation,questionnaire survey,and mathematical statistical methods to analyze the data.Research conclusions:(1)In terms of mobility,female children performed better than male children,while male children performed better in control movements.(2)The gross motor skills and social development of young children aged 4-6showed a gradual improvement with age,and the age of five may be a critical period for social development.(3)There was a significant positive correlation between gross motor skills and social development in young children aged 4-6,indicating that they influence each other.(4)Gross motor skills are one of the important influencing factors for social development and have a certain impact on it. |
