A look at the new approach you can take to the development of kids coordination to give them a head start in sport and making a lasting difference in their physical lives.
Beliefs and Actions in a New Approach to Kids Skill Development1:38
Here are the 6 beliefs and and the 6 actions you can take for a whole new proactive approach to kids skill development in the early years.

Fundamental Perceptual Motor Skills and Coordination10:08
A look at what exactly fundamental perceptual motor skills and coordination are and a framework from which you can approach all skill activities and play in the first 6 years.
Fundamental Perceptual Motor Skills And Coordination 2:00
This is a nice little visual representation of how fundamental perceptual motor skills relate the development of coordination and sports.
Helpful Definitions for Understanding Skill Development5:09
In this lecture, you will find definitions of key words and phrases important for you helping kids become skilful and coordinated in the first 6 years of life.

Definitions Related to Understanding How the Brain and Skills Develop2:47
To really understand how the human brain develops and comes to be responsible for the skills and behaviours we have, make sure you read this lecture to be clear on some key words and phrases that relate to the brain. The better your understanding of brain development, the better placed and more motivated you will be to make a real difference in kids early years.
The Developing Brain and Skills20:47
This lecture puts in simple practical terms the fundamentals of brain development in relation to the development of skills and human behaviours. By the end of this lecture you will understand what is going on in babies, toddlers and young kids brains as they learn and develop their coordination which will make you all the more effective and inspired.
Developmental Trajectories15:38
You are guaranteed to never again look at the first 6 years of life the same when you understand exactly how a developmental trajectory is possible due to features of brain development. Be inspired to proactively establish positive development trajectories for the kids in your life.

Play and Learning11:40
This lecture provides you a very simple framework for understanding and approaching play. Appreciating and becoming an effective facilitator of play is crucial to helping kids develop their skills and coordination in the early years of life.
Evidence for Play and Learning8:20
Taking a proactive approach to kids skill development from 0-6 years involves appreciating the value of play. Read here the amazing evidence for play as the most effective and natural teaching tool we have at out disposal.
The Seeking System4:07
The seeking system is amazing and explains so much about kid's behaviours of all ages but particularly under the age of 6 years. Learn in this lecture how brain structure and brain chemistry works in relation to kids desire to move, explore and understand and how you can really tap into it.
An Enriched Environment4:13
Understanding what exactly an enriched environment is and how enriched environments have an incredible impact on brain development is vital for every parent, teacher, caregiver and coach.

Birth to Mobility - 0 to 18 Months - Part 19:04
In Part 1 we cover the aims for motor skill development in the first 18 months of life.
Birth to Mobility - 0 to 18 Months - Part 26:46
We begin to look at both motor and perceptual milestone development and at each stage talk about how you can play to encourage physical activity and development towards the next milestones.
Birth to Mobility - 0 to 18 Months - Part 38:23
In Part 3, we continue looking at developmental milestones and the play you can engage in during these times to encourage healthy active development.
Birth to Mobility - 0 to 18 Months - Part 47:06
In Part 4, we work our way through to the end of the first 18 months where kids are fully mobile and ready to start their journey towards fundamental perceptual motor skills and coordination.

Mobility to Fundamental Perceptual Motor Skills - 18 Months to 4 Years - Part 18:42
We begin in Part 1 our in depth look at a toddlers development of fundamental perceptual motor skills and coordination from 18 months. Beginning with our aims for this stage and milestones becoming increasingly varied amongst kids based on the learning experiences they are having.
Mobility to Fundamental Perceptual Motor Skills - 18 Months to 4 Years - Part 214:19
In Part 2 we cover developmental milestones can potentially be reaching from 18 months with active play engagement. At each milestone we talk about how you can play to really encourage their development.
Mobility to Fundamental Perceptual Motor Skills - 18 Months to 4 Years - Part 37:29
The Part 3 lecture covers all the way up to 4 years, including what skills and coordination milestones kids can be capable of by age 4 years and the activities and play you can engage in to help their skills advance.

Fundamental Perceptual Motor Skills to Ready for Sport - 4 to 6 Years - Part 114:16
Part 1 begins the journey from 4 years to kids by the age of 6 having the coordination to easily engage in, learn and play any sport.
Fundamental Perceptual Motor Skills to Ready for Sport - 4 to 6 Years - Part 211:42
In Part 2 we finish covering all the coordination milestones up to the age of 6 years and talk more about the types of play you can do with kids, so that by the time they start sport they are skilful, more able to adapt to any physical experience and are set on a pathway towards successful sports participation.

The Three Opportunities for Skill Learning Experiences11:54
We all have busy lives and it can be difficult to fit in the playtime and physical activity experiences kids need and deserve. In this lecture we give you insight into how kids can get the necessary active play and how you can approach being facilitator of these experiences.
Potential Skill Learning Experiences From 0-6 Years6:47
This gives you a very practical overview of the the skill learning experiences kids can be exposed to from 0 to 6 years as part of a proactive approach to developing fundamental motor skills and coordination.
Examples of Skill Learning Experiences in Day or a Week7:09
So what daily or weekly experiences can a 7 month old baby, a 2 year old toddler or a 5 year kid be exposed to? Read here to find out and see how skill learning experiences progress over the early years.
