What are the Common Areas of Developmental Variability?
Children can show variability in several developmental areas:
- Motor Skills: Some children may be early walkers or talkers, while others may take more time to develop these skills. - Language: Language development can vary widely, with some children speaking in sentences by age 2 and others taking longer to develop verbal skills. - Social-Emotional: Variability in social interactions and emotional regulation is common, influenced by temperament and early experiences. - Cognitive: Cognitive abilities, including memory, problem-solving, and learning, can develop at different rates.
