Rolling over

Rolling over is an example of proximodistal skill.

Explanation:

Proximodistal skills are the ones that develop before any complex skills are developed by the human being. For example, before a small child begins to write by tightening his grip on the pencil, he simply learns to move his fingers with nothing in the hands. The skill of rolling over is developed before the child develops the skill of sitting up on his own.
