One year I had a child who I considered very immature. Here are the things I noticed: he sucked his thumb when stressed, he cried frequently, his comments during class discussions were often off-topic and tended to be much more "me-centered" than was typical at that time of year for second graders, he could not play well with other children, especially in competitive games because if he was losing he would have a tantrum and quit or throw his pieces or cry (or all of the above), his handwriting looked like a kindergartner's writing (very poor fine-motor control), his attention span was very limited (more like a typical 4-5 year old), and he was much more literal in his thinking than the other children. Okay. This makes sense, if you could see nothing else to attribute the behaviors to. Was anything going on at home? How was he academically? How did things turn out?
