Motor Development in a 2 year old child is a very crucial milestone as all the other body movements will depend on this aspect of the child development. Motor development in a child take place in an organised sequence from the time the child is born and conducts varied reflexive actions. In a child the motor development takes place as per the Cephalocaudal (from head to tail) and Proximodistal (from the midline outward) principle (Lally & Valentine-French, 2019, pp. 78). An infant first learns to hold their heads, and then sit up with help of a support, then without any support and then later learn to crawl, walk or run. For every stage of their childhood, there are some milestone that a child must reach.
