According to the textbook, it is true about language skill development in children that gender differences appear very early.
Explanation:
- It has been observed and proved that girls possess better language skills than boys since their birth itself.
- Girls exhibit faster development as far as language is concerned as they start speaking a little too earlier than boys do.
- This development can be owed to the greater grasping capacity and observational abilities that girls own since a very small age itself.
Answer:
Beginning in early adolescence, the self-esteem decreases for girls, but increases for boys.
Explanation:

- On the other hand, the boys begin to exhibit elderly behavior and gain new levels of energy and enthusiasm.
- Boys also undergo physical and mental maturity to some extent but their self-esteem increases with the changes that are happening.
