- Balances: Keeping body/head upright while exploring/interacting with immediate environment
- Fine Motor: Coordination of muscles in precise movements to explore/interact with environment (usually with hands- drawing, brushing teeth, writing)
- Gross Motor: Coordination of muscles in a coordinated way to explore/interact with environment (usually running, jumping, throwing something)
*Development happens in a cephalocaudal (head downwards) direction: children grow from the center out which is called proximodistal pattern*

- Low Social: Introvert
Emotionality: Intensity of emotion
- High Emotion: more emotion/lots of fluctuation in emotion
- Low Emotion: less emotion/less fluctuation in emotion
