“Approach” describes how the instrument assesses this construct, not the specific items. We never reproduce proprietary test items.
“When {child_name} is at the park or in the garden, is {he_she} confident moving energetically — running, jumping, hopping, climbing?”
Follow-up: “Does {he_she} negotiate around other children and obstacles safely without bumping into things?”
“Does {child_name} enjoy climbing up onto things — the sofa, climbing frames at the park, a low chair?”
Follow-up: “Will {he_she} climb to reach something {he_she} wants, like a toy up high?”
