Temperament may affect motor development more than gender.
Temperament: Hussey-Gardner (2003 ) describes some children are "motor driven" and some children as "motor cautious." Motor driven children want to try everything and are highly motivated to learn and practice motor skills. Motor cautious children need time to watch others before trying new activities. Temperament can affect children's willingness to try motor activities which would then affect their development.
