Run and Move

Parent observes running mechanics, stair independence, skipping, and throwing form: head position while running, forward lean, sharp turns, varied surfaces, stairs without handrail (up and down), alternating-foot skipping, and body-propelled throwing. Covers eight gross motor milestones at 46-56mo.
