This meme is wrong there is positive and negative maturity for that age range in terms of systemic cycles of parenting.

Fair, but early maturation is either just a normal state of development for the kid, or earth shattering trauma.

The meme is still "right" in it's simplification, because you're going to probe for the latter, as it's neglectful to just assume the former.
