The review reports, citing Chow et al.'s (2018) longitudinal meta-analysis aggregating data on 31,647 children, that early language skills significantly predicted adolescent externalizing behavior problems. No effect size printed in the review.

"This is significant when we consider that, in their 2018 report on a sample ag- gregating data on 31,647 children, Chow et al. (2018) found adolescent externalizing behavior problems were signifi- cantly predicted by early language skills, most notably re- ceptive language abilities."
