I found it by looking for information about when disdain develops. My first memory of it is toward an adult, before age 9 and I felt equal disdain toward genders and other groups, and the entire article seems about extraverted, well-adjusted boys - anyone else feel that way?
As it says in the beginning, the child is unique and will do things on his own schedule.
That's all that needs saying.
If you want to push your children to meet milestones set by others so be it...I know I never would nor did, and my children all turned out just fine.
probably written by psychologists who study children...but, and this to me is key... have none of their own.
No developmental psychologists have children of their own? How hilariously low probability is that?
BTW, any good scientist in psychology is looking at the population - not just citing what their own kid is doing. Because there is a broad range of behavior that is considered "normal" or typical. Why would one kid be the complete embodiment of what is typical?
I'm talking about actual academic research here, not just what some pseudo-scientific reporter says. I don't think you understand the difference, or science, or the science that is psychology.
A human is messing up my thread. That's the only comment I will make on that, and you can guess what will happen if I want it (or maybe regardless). Just the article itself is worth reading.
From my view, and I'm firmly a behaviorist philosophically (a splinter off psychology - with wildly different views), this would not be an article or website that I would share with potential clients or families or put much stock in.
Maybe it is cute and fun to read, but it reads more like a horoscope than true human developmental information.
My guess is that your disdain had to do with specific environmental events, maybe even a complex and/or unrecognizable sequence of them...or some sort of parental or community governance. Impossible to tell without being you, but perhaps making a chart or notating a sequence of events would be helpful to you.
Biologically, something resembling what you call disdain, is most likely visible in other ways from an early age.
