Question 1
A 9-month-old infant is brought to the clinic for a developmental assessment. On examination, the infant sits independently without support, transfers a block from one hand to the other, uses a raking grasp to pick up a small raisin, babbles multisyllabic sounds ('ba-ba-da-da'), and demonstrates stranger anxiety. How should the developmental paediatrician classify this infant's gross motor, fine motor, and language development?
Correct Answer:
Gross motor: appropriate (6-7m); Fine motor: slightly delayed (immature raking at 9m); Language: appropriate (6-9m)
Question 2
At what age does the asymmetric tonic neck reflex (ATNR, or 'fencer's posture') normally disappear, and what is the clinical significance if it persists beyond 6 months of age?

Disappears at 4-6 months; persistence prevents rolling and signifies upper motor neuron dysfunction / cerebral palsy
