Despite the increasing prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders in young children, potential intersex differences in children's precursors of neurodevelopmental disorders and behavioral difficulties are ambiguous. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between gender and the manifestations of specific behaviour in two-year-old children. The study population consisted of 1853 2-year-old children whose parent (caregiver) completed the Method for Monitoring Development of Psychomotor Function and Screening for Developmental Difficulties for the 11th Preventive Examination in Primary Care, S-PMV11. Findings showed a trend of significantly more frequent pacifier use by girls. In boys, their gender was associated with more frequent inappropriate concentration and less frequent ability to reassure the parent compared to girls. Findings are discussed as current trends, emphasising psychologist involvement in the process of providing developmental and family counseling.

Keywords: S-PMV11; specific behaviour; parental assessment; intersex differences; neurodevelopmental disorders; behavioural difficulties.
