According to dynamic systems theory, a person’s behavior is the product of ongoing interactions between the person’s internal and his or her external and environmental contexts. For example, the Kipsigi people in Kenya deliberately train their children to and then to , with the result being that their children learn to walk anywhere from _____ sooner, on average, than American and European children.

Dynamic system theory is focused on motor development which can be applied to the management of children. The main premise of a dynamic system theory is that the movement behavior in a child is the result of the complex interactions that occurs between many different subsystems in our body and the environment. It is the interaction of the person's biology and the external environment and culture to which he or she belongs.

A great example of dynamic system theory is applied to that of Kipsigi people of Kenya. The Kipsigi people train their children to walk and talk at a very early childhood as compared to other American or European children. At early days, the Kipsigi children learn to talk and walk nearly 1 to 2 months sooner than other children. This is the result of the external culture in which Kipsigi people live in.
