BOOSTING BODY PROPRIOCEPTION IN EARLY CHILDHOOD INFANTS THROUGH THE DIMENSIONS OF HUMAN MOTOR SKILLS

Abstract

With the return to in-person schooling post-pandemic, a decrease in Body Proprioception levels has been identified in children in Early Childhood Education. This is due to the fact that the global pandemic in 2020 forced the student population to return to their homes, where they lacked the necessary tools for significant motor development in early childhood. This preventive measure resulted in an impact on motor development, such that children had difficulty recognizing their body segments, in addition to having a low level of basic motor skills and poor social development among peers. For this reason, through practices focused on the three dimensions of human motor skills, the importance of contributing to the knowledge of new childhoods through recognition of themselves, their peers, and the context in which they live is raised.
