Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Language development is generally characterized by similar stages, such as babbling, one-word stage, two-word stage, and so on, but individuals may acquire these stages at different rates. This means that although children may hit similar milestones at roughly the same ages, some children may be slower or faster to reach these milestones. Additionally, while there may be similarities in vocabulary acquisition, some individuals may struggle more with grammar rules.
