💨 Abstract

The article discusses the issue of universal child development norms, primarily based on research from wealthier, western countries. It argues that these norms are not applicable to all cultures due to differences in physical environment, parenting styles, location, climate, and individual variation. The article suggests that a child's development should be understood within their specific cultural and social context, and that research should involve local communities and perspectives to be more accurate and beneficial for children around the world.
