How does locomotion help infants in achieving independence and also in the development of social skills?
What will be an ideal response?
As infants develop the ability to crawl, walk, and run, they are able to explore and expand their social world. These newly developed self-produced locomotor skills allow the infant to independently initiate social interchanges on a more frequent basis. The infant's and toddler's push for independence also is likely paced by the development of locomotion skills. Locomotion is also important for its motivational implications. Once infants have the ability to move in goal-directed pursuits, the reward from these pursuits leads to further efforts to explore and develop skills.
