What is the most reliable source of child development data?

Surveys
Behavioral observations
Interviews
Genetics

The correct answer is: Behavioral observations

Behavioral observations are the most reliable source of child development data because they involve directly observing a child's behavior and interactions in various settings and situations. Surveys and interviews may rely on self-reported data from parents or caregivers, which may not always be accurate. Genetics can play a role in child development, but it is not the most reliable source of data as it only provides information about a child's inherited traits and not their current behaviors or abilities.
