What Does Late Bloomer Mean?

Late Bloomer (noun) - someone who develops slower than their peers

a peer is someone who is similar to someone else in regards to age, status, background, etc.

Cambridge Dictionary defines late bloomer as "someone who becomes good at something after people usually become good at it."

Although commonly used to talk about delayed physical development, late bloomer can also be used to describe delayed emotional, social, and/or mental development.
