Parent perceptions linked to toddler motor skills in new study
NCT ID NCT07366957
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at motor skills and physical activity in 20 children aged 4-6, and how parents' thoughts and attitudes relate to their child's development. Researchers will test children's movement abilities using a standard scale and interview parents about their views. No treatment is given—the goal is to better understand family factors that influence early motor development.
