What is the difference between physical and motor development?

Physical development refers to the changes in the body and its systems over time, including growth in size, strength, and overall health. Motor development, on the other hand, specifically focuses on the progression of a child's ability to control their body movements, including both gross motor skills (like running and jumping) and fine motor skills (such as grasping and manipulating objects). While they are interconnected, physical development encompasses a broader range of bodily changes, whereas motor development is more about the acquisition of movement skills.
