Advise Aidan's parents on
how they might proceed, given each child's level of biosocial development. What specific
physical advances will be beneficial to the children in their running?

Answers will vary and should include starting slowly, especially with Emma. Emma
will most likely have the lowest body mass index in the family. Both children's
muscles will become stronger each year, their lung capacity will expand, and they
will be able to run faster and longer without breathing more heavily each year.
