- Before age 4, children must learn to move their body in a given direction, gradually moving forward with their feet side by side. At age 4, children can walk with one foot in front of the other on a beam that is one and a half times the width of their feet. At age 6, children can walk heel to toe on a beam that is at least as wide as their feet.
- Kids' psychomotor development depends on a combination of genetics, motor skills and mental abilities. A product can impact a child's psychomotor development if it supports their motor skills. There are several aspects to motor skills: the body map, dynamic coordination, balance, hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills and time and spatial awareness.
- The body map refers to a child's perception of their body, which allows them to master their movements and develop self-awareness. It is developed based on sensations and actions ("a body that feels, moves"), before being represented and described ("bodily representation", drawing of a person). The more a child moves, the more they learn to refine their body map and the better they're able to move.
- Hand-eye coordination includes actions required for aiming with part or all of your body: for young children, following a trajectory, then aiming first at large objects and targets, with the hands and feet, before moving on to smaller and smaller objects and targets as they learn to control their fingers: playing the piano, threading beads on a string, writing.
- Time and space awareness includes everything that involves a child's perception of their self in time (before/after, rhythmic activity, day/night, seasons, etc.) and space (in front/behind, on/under, right/left, etc.)
