Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the developmental differences typically observed between boys and girls during early childhood, focusing on language and motor skills.
Recall that research in developmental psychology often shows girls tend to develop verbal skills earlier and more rapidly than boys in early childhood.
Evaluate each option by comparing it to established developmental milestones: girls are generally not more likely to have language delays, nor are they less likely to develop fine motor skills compared to boys.
Consider behavioral tendencies such as physical aggression, which is generally observed to be higher in boys than girls during early childhood.
Conclude that the statement 'generally more verbally advanced' aligns best with psychological research on early childhood development differences between girls and boys.
