We know it’s normal for kids to develop at different rates, but when children find themselves a step behind their peers — physically, emotionally or socially — it can leave them embarrassed and confused. Less mature kids can be teased for “babyish” things like crying at school or be left out of games they aren’t ready for. In adolescence, they might be clueless about social rules and considered uncool for not wanting to be more “grown up” — especially when it seems like everyone else can’t wait.

This week on childmind.org ([link removed]) we’re taking a look at what parents can do to support kids who are a little less mature than their peers — and how to tell when immaturity might be cause for concern.
