It stresses the importance of mastering fundamental movement skills (FMS) before age seven, using a socio-cultural approach that considers children's diverse backgrounds. The text explores relevant theories of human movement and motor skill acquisition, highlighting the need for educators to address hidden curriculum messages that may negatively impact children's perception of physical activity.
