- A six-year-old who is unable to sit still for a short story may indicate a delay in attention span development, which is generally expected to be better developed by this age.- A five-year-old who is unable to button his shirt may indicate a delay in fine motor skills, as most children develop the ability to dress themselves with minimal assistance by this age.
