If a child is a stage 3 catcher, what environmental constraint would be best to select?

The rudimentary movement phase comes after the fundamental movement phase in the phases and stages model of motor development.

When teaching children, one must remember:

At the specialized movement phase of motor development, greater emphasis is placed on:

Stage 3 of catching involves a scooping action.
