Sa'dia is an 18-month-old girl whose parents use flash cards to teach her the alphabet and simple words, they use videos and music to teach her other languages, and they use infant swimming and movement classes to improve her coordination. Despite all these classes, Sa'dia walked at 12 months and spoke her first word at 13 months. What would developmental psychologists tell Sa'dia's parents

Answer:

The correct answer is - there is very less influence on motor skill development in toddlers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Despite all swimming and movement classes to improve her coordination, there is very little one can do to improve motor skill development early than its own time.

Babies have to have adequate muscular and neural maturity to reach developmental milestones on their own time and there is nothing one can do to rush to development.
