Which action shows improved gross motor mobility by going up stairs?

Begins cooperative play Climbs stairs Recognizes many colors Brushes teeth

Correct Answer:

Climbs stairs

Explanation:

Going up stairs is a clear example of gross motor mobility because it uses large muscle groups to lift and move the body, maintain balance, and coordinate the trunk, hips, and legs as you alternate steps. Mastery of stair climbing shows strength, endurance, and motor planning in the lower body, all of which are key aspects of gross motor development. Other options tap into different skills: cooperative play relates to social interaction and communication, recognizing colors is a cognitive/visual skill, and brushing teeth mainly involves fine motor control of the hands and fingers for self-care. So climbing stairs best demonstrates improved gross motor mobility.
