Motor development and clumsiness

Did your child sit or walk later, or do they often fall and seem clumsy?

Age: 0–7 years

Movement is the basis for learning

Motor skills are linked to attention, speech and later writing. Psychomotor development evaluation and a stimulation programme encourage these skills through play, from the earliest age.

This page is informational and does not provide a diagnosis. Every child develops individually.

What you may notice

Signs worth paying attention to

  • Sat, crawled or walked later
  • Often trips and falls
  • Finds it hard to jump, catch a ball or ride a bike
  • Struggles to hold a pencil or cutlery
  • Avoids drawing, cutting, buttoning

A clear next step

What would the first step look like?

  1. Your observations

    A conversation about age, daily life and the questions that worry you. Bring concrete examples.

  2. Professional assessment

    Looking at your child's needs and recommending further assessment if needed.

  3. Support plan

    Explaining the recommendations and agreeing on next steps – at the center and at home.

Parents ask

What do parents ask most?

When should I worry if my baby doesn't sit or walk?

Children develop at different paces, but if several skills are delayed, consult a paediatrician and a stimulation team.
