GM.E.132 JUMPS FROM A BOTTOM STEP OR BLOCK 20 CM HIGH UNAIDED

How to Assess

Materials: A block or step 12 to 20 cm high.

Method: Ask your child to jump down from the block or bottom step. Score plus if your child bends her knees, then jumps off without any help and with 2 feet together.

How to Teach

When you demonstrate this skill, exaggerate your knee bending so that it is obvious to your child.
