“adult” but sacrifices himself to save his new friends. In the sequel, Groot is much younger and has grown from a sapling to a more human-like tree in his early childhood years. First describing Groot's physical and cognitive development, followed by Groot's emotional development in early childhood. Groot's physical appearance consists of large eyes and a slightly larger head that the rest of his body with body proportions that are now more similar to adult Groot. In attempts to give the appearance of youth the animators created baby Groot with smother face, and higher pitch voice than older Groot. In the opening scene, we get our first glimpse of baby Groot fine and gross motor skills. He struggles to connect male to female stereos connectors. This is indicative of his poor fine motor skills which males do not have an advantage. Yet once he hears the music and starts to move you can see that his gross motor skill are more advanced than his fine motor skills. Although females tend to do better in gross motor skills “that require a combination of good balance and foot movements” (author, year pg 178.) his dance moves could have been encouraged by Peter Quill's love of dancing and music. Although slight sex differences exist they are typically small in early childhood, it is the caregivers that eventually influence what skills are fostered in children.
