Zorluk: OrtaNormal Growth and Development

During a community pediatric developmental screening initiative, a physician evaluates several healthy children. Match each child's observed clinical milestone constellation with their most likely chronological age.

  • Child P: Walks independently, uses a mature two-finger pincer grasp, and consistently says one specific word other than 'mama' and 'dada'.12 months
  • Child Q: Jumps in place with both feet, builds a tower of six cubes, and spontaneously combines two words into meaningful phrases.24 months
  • Child R: Pedals a tricycle, accurately copies a drawn circle, and routinely speaks in three-word sentences.36 months
  • Child S: Hops on one foot without losing balance, copies a cross on paper, and engages in cooperative group play.48 months

Cevap

Child P matches to 12 months; Child Q matches to 24 months; Child R matches to 36 months; Child S matches to 48 months.
Pediatric milestones follow predictable sequential patterns. At 1 year, children walk and say their first distinct words. At 2 years, they jump, combine 2 words, and build small towers. At 3 years, they ride tricycles, draw circles, and speak in 3-word sentences. At 4 years, they hop, draw crosses, and engage in cooperative play.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze Child P's milestones (walking, mature pincer grasp, first word).
These are classic 1-year (12-month) milestones.
Independent ambulation, fine motor opposition (pincer), and the emergence of specific words outside of babbling occur around the first birthday.
2
Evaluate Child Q's milestones (jumping, 6-cube tower, 2-word phrases).
These align with 2-year (24-month) developmental milestones.
The clinical 'rule of 2s' applies here—2-word phrases, 2/4 speech intelligibility, and combining gross motor coordination for two-footed jumping.
3
Assess Child R's skills (tricycle, copying a circle, 3-word sentences).
These are standard 3-year (36-month) milestones.
The clinical 'rule of 3s' applies—3-wheel tricycle, 3-word sentences, and drawing a one-line closed shape (circle).
4
Review Child S's presentation (hopping, copying a cross, cooperative play).
This corresponds to 4-year (48-month) development.
Higher-level balance (hopping), drawing intersecting lines (cross), and complex social interactions (cooperative play rather than parallel play) define this age.
