From the Paper:

"Mary is a family friend who has a daughter named Janet, aged 14 months. The period between one and two years of age is the toddler. Toddlerhood extends from the time when the child begins walking independently until they can walk and run without effort (Ross-Kerr & Wood, 2001). Janet was already walking at ten months, but another neighbor's child did not start walking until 15 months. Mary realizes that the difference does not mean anything beyond that developmental progression is highly individual."
