Which describes non-locomotor skills?

• A. Sending an object away from the body.
• B. Jumping, hopping and running are examples.
• C. Requires the child to control an object with their body, propulsive or otherwise.
• D. Remaining stable and controlled in different positions or with movement.

Answer: (D)

Non-locomotor skills are movements performed in place that emphasize body control, balance, and stability rather than traveling through space. The statement describing remaining stable and controlled in different positions or with movement fits this idea because it focuses on maintaining balance and control while the body stays in one location or changes position without moving across the environment.

In contrast, jumping, hopping, and running involve moving through space, which are locomotor skills. Other choices describe manipulating or projecting an object with the body, which are object-control or manipulative skills, not non-locomotor.
