Answer:

Developmental milestones

Step-by-step explanation:

Developmental milestones are achievements, new things that the children can do as they grow up. For example, walking is a developmental milestone that is achieved from as early as 8 months to as late as 18 months of age, while starting puberty starts at 10 years of age at minimum in some ethnicities.
