    Explanation
    Being aware of developmental norms is important in order to select suitable toys and resources for children. Developmental norms refer to the typical milestones and skills that children should be reaching at certain ages.

    The correct answer is "4 years old" because the phrase "show off" implies someone displaying their skills or abilities, which is more likely to be seen in a 4-year-old child compared to a 2-year-old or a four-month-old baby. At 4 years old, children are more developed physically and mentally, allowing them to demonstrate their skills and show off in various activities or tasks.
