✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
The process of child development is not only quantitative but also qualitative and maturation-based. According to the universal principles of development, the direction of development is always from head to toe (Cephalocaudal trend) and from the center of the body outward to the periphery (Proximodistal trend). Although individual differences exist, the sequence and directional pattern remain consistent.
