Development in children is rarely sequential.
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Development in children is rarely sequential because it is a complex and dynamic process that varies from child to child. Children may develop different skills and abilities at different rates and in different orders. For example, one child may develop language skills before motor skills, while another child may develop motor skills first. This non-linear pattern of development is influenced by various factors such as genetics, environment, and individual differences. Therefore, it is not accurate to say that development in children is always sequential.

- A.
