Answer to Question 1

Examples of aspects of development that seem to follow a universal pattern include the sequence in which children acquire motor skills (crawling, then walking, then running) and the sequence in which children acquire language (babbling, then one-word and two-word sentences). Diversity in development can be seen when youngsters who differ by gender, culture, or historical era acquire different skills and competencies, communicate using different symbols and tools of communication, or hold unique beliefs and values.
