Normative Development

The idea
Normative development means the typical or expected outcomes of growth, observed across a wide range of different conditions and settings.
In practice
Most children reaching the same milestones in very different homes and cultures.
Where people slip
Humans are highly adaptable. Good outcomes occur even in poor circumstances; it takes extreme deprivation, at particular times, to severely restrict development.
