Pediatrics · Growth and Development (Milestones, Developmental Disorders)

A 6-year-old child is expected to be able to:

  • A Copy a triangle
  • B Read a short story
  • C Tie shoelaces
  • D Ride a bicycle without training wheels
Correct answer: C. Tie shoelaces

Explanation

Tying shoelaces is typically achieved by 6 years. Copying a triangle is a 5-year milestone. Reading simple words begins at 6, but reading a short story is later. Riding a bicycle without training wheels is usually achieved by 5-6 years, but tying shoelaces is a more specific fine motor milestone for this age.
