Bunker, Linda K. – Journal of Physical Education and Recreation, 1981
Both physical education and youth sport are essential for the motor development of children. Sport-specific skills should be built on a sound movement foundation. Children need to be allowed to mature and to develop to higher levels of proficiency before being thrust into a competitive environment. (JN)

The Role of Play and Motor Skill Development in Building Children's Self-Confidence and Self-Esteem.
Peer reviewedBunker, Linda K. – Elementary School Journal, 1991
Early exploratory activities enable children to develop motor skills. Boys and girls must be provided similar experiences in movement. Teachers should provide experiences in which children can be successful. Situations in which children initially fail, but later learn to persist and try alternative solutions, are valuable. (BC)
