Your sister-in-law has been frustrated with your 6-year-old nephew's writing skills and development. He is able to write the letters of the alphabet, but cannot write in cursive. She believes that she was able to do so by her son's age

Given your evaluation of the situation, what do you think?
He is doing fine for a 6-year-old. He should not be able to write in cursive for another two years.
||
He probably needs more practice with fine motor skills because he is delayed in his development.
||
He probably has no desire to please his mother and do what she requests.
||
Inability to write in cursive is a symptom of a serious developmental disorder.
