Growing up one of my best friends family didn’t have a lot. My mom would gather all my old clothes and shoes and give them to her being that she was a couple years younger than me. Her and her sisters would come over and have dinner with us sometimes and whenever we did something with friends I would always make sure I got enough money for the both of us. I don’t recall this have any effect on her but things like that are things people tend to hide.
China
I read a study about “Factors influencing developmental delay among young children in poor rural China: a latent variable approach”. The study stated that, “China has the third largest number of disadvantage children. The study showed that the prevalence of suspected developmental delay among children aged 6–35 months was high and inversely related to age in the surveyed areas of poor rural China. To date, only one study has examined developmental delay in rural China, and reported a prevalence of 20.0% in cognitive development and 32.3% in psycho-motor development among children aged 6–12 months. Our study revealed that 35.7% of rural children under 3 years of age had suspected developmental delay and that among children aged 6–12 months, 17%–20% of them had delay in the communication, problem-solving, personal-social and gross motor domains, and nearly 30% had delay in fine motor development.” (BMJ Open, 2018)
What I gathered from the study was children under three affected by poverty had the most developmental delays than any other age group. What I would like to know is, why do the children in that age range have the most developmental delays?
