An foremost consideration in interpreting the limits of "normal" is the thought of variability, which describes the surface limits of the age at which a given skill should develop. For example most children smile by about 3 to 4 weeks of life.
But some children don't begin to smile until they are 7 to 8 weeks of age. It's said that the average smiles are at 1 month. But the variability is whether a month earlier or month later. As tasks come to be more and more complicated, the variability increases.
Baby Development
Most children sit at about 6 months, but the variability is in the middle of 4 and 8 months. Most children walk at 12 months, but some begin as early as 9 months, and others as late as 16 months or later.
Verbal potential has even greater variability. Some children say 5 words, before 12 months of age; others may be roughly 24 months before this is accomplished. Beethoven was said to be composing and playing music at 3 years old, but adults 10 times that age have difficulties with these tasks.
Variability limits are far more meaningful than single "normal" values in interpreting whether a given milestone has occurred on schedule. In other words, a child who doesn't walk at the average age of 12 months is still general if they are walking at 16 months.
However, that child will be considered abnormal if he or she isn't walking by the age of 3. Normality in 1 area of development does not certify normality in all others, and abnormality in 1 area doesn't signify abnormality in others.
Consider a child who, for whatever reason, has acquired an injury that affects muscle (motor) development. This child may lag considerably in sitting walking and the more sophisticated locomotion skill but still get language, social, and other skills at the proper age.
A base misconception is that a child's brain can be unbelievable by observing how rapidly he or she develops in the 1st year of life.
Except for rare cases in severe retardation, development rates offer very puny help in predicting extreme intelligence, let alone whether that person will use his or her brain creatively, productively or not at all
Experts can put only a fuzzy border nearby what's general and abnormal. Nobody can say what your child will be like in the future. A child who's developing moderately at 1st may design rapidly later on. Other children may design very rapidly initially and then slow down.
Most usual are periods of alternating rapid, slow, and average development in response to changes in season, changes in house aggregate and other changes not yet determined.
