Climbing up and down stairs is a milestone seen in which Winder stage?

• A. Stage 3
• B. Stage 4
• C. Stage 5
• D. Stage 1

Answer: (C)

Climbing up and down stairs reflects mastery of complex gross motor control, balance, and leg strength. In Winder’s stages of motor development, the earlier stages cover foundational skills such as rolling, sitting, crawling, standing, and basic walking. The ability to navigate stairs safely is a more advanced milestone that appears at the later stage, indicating refined coordination and control. So this skill marks the highest stage in the sequence, showing the child has developed the coordinated, mature locomotor abilities needed for stairs.
