Familiar advantage
The influence that parents and/or siblings can have on motor development.
Fine motor skills

Gross motor skills
Are movements involving the use of large muscle groups that result in a coordinated action.
Individual constraints
Are the physical, psychological, and behaviour characteristics that influence movement.
Movement constraints
