description	Check whether a parenting expectation matches the child's developmental ability and available support.

Age Appropriate Expectations

Use when this capability directly owns the requested outcome.

Procedure

1. Consider age, temperament, demonstrated skill, stress, and context.
2. Separate cannot-yet from will-not when possible.
3. Teach the missing skill before escalating consequences for repeated failure.
4. Keep expectations high enough to build capability but realistic enough to succeed.

Output standard

Give a concrete result, decision aid, or next action. Keep assumptions visible and hand off work outside this skill's domain.
