Hi there Filomena87!
This is my first response on here, I've been using Silkysteps for some months now and finally found a question that I've answered that I might be able to help with. I hope this is of some use to you.
(It's not exactly what I wrote but hopefully it'll guide you in the right direction)

1.3 Explain the importance of using both the indoor and outdoor environment to develop children's physical development.
Outdoor environments can provide children with lots of space, places to explore, experiment, discover, be active and healthy and develop their physical abilities.
If a child was to JUST use indoor environments what would the effects be?
(For example, lack of vitamin D which could cause sever asthma, it could affect their physical growth rate and such)
If a child was to use the outdoor environments what are the benefits?
(Can freely climb, run, kick, throw, jump, learn to ride a bike which will in turn help to build their leg muscles and co-ordination)
Indoors development (how I see it) is where fine motor skills and basic gross motor skills are developed - they learn to grasp things whilst indoors such as bottles, toys, they put things in their mouth for sensory development, and they learn to crawl and walk. You wouldn't put a baby on the concrete floor outside to teach them to crawl, because it'd hurt their knees, but you would indoors on a carpet etc. A child will learn to walk before going outside and going onto a balance beam.
It's important to find the balance between both in order for a smooth physical development.

I hope this helped you somewhat, and that it atleast made sense :)!
I have 21 questions until I finish my course, and I have like 7 days. I hope you get to finish yours soon, keep going!

Hi Katonargh, a warm welcome to the site. Can you please provide a link to your source of information about a lack of Vitamin D & it being responsible for asthma.

Whilst there's professional interest in vitamin D, as far as I know there's not yet any proven association between the 2, asthma is a defensive reaction that happens within the 'wind pipes' to a range of stimulants/triggers including environmental factors such as air-born allergens - what is asthma on asthma.org.uk and on NHS choices

Vitamin D does have a direct impact on bone development & growth. A deficiency or lack of Vitamin D can contribute to the development of rickets which softens bones, resulting in their malformation - google image search

Best wishes with your study

Hi Ruthierhyme, many thanks!
I found it mentioned on several links (hinted at the research behind it, rather)
https://www.vitamindcouncil.org/heal...itions/asthma/ and also http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/284602.php
and also a more reliable source (NHS) http://www.nhs.uk/news/2013/05May/Pa...re-asthma.aspx

Thank you very much for your wishes, I'm almost there :)!

Hi, yes, I read those. You need to check with your tutor if you can submit work that quotes the particular research undertaken in Israel by Dr. Ronit Confino-Cohen and also if USA/Californian sites can be included as acceptable sources in your coursework.

The NHS page, states ' ”Sunshine vitamin 'may treat asthma'”, BBC News informs us, as a new lab-based study suggests vitamin D could help control symptoms of severe asthma.

and then

The BBC correctly points out that treating asthma patients with vitamin D “has not yet been tested”
