I'm not sure what you mean by this question. Are you referring to the
actions of these children in infancy? Early childhood development?
Throughout their lifespan?

I'm sure you don't mean that question in an insulting way. Children conceived by IVF are no different physically, emotionally or developmentally than children conceived without fertility help. Some concerns could be multiple embroyos, resulting in twins or triplets (I personally had twins and LOVE IT!!) If you have multiples, you could be at risk for premature birth, which could result in health concerns. But this is no different than "normal" conception.

Do you have any specific concerns? I personally know 2 children conceived by IVF. One is still a baby, the other one a pre-schooler. They are not any different and any other child I know.
With IVF, if using you own eggs, you have the same age related risks of genetic/congenital issues (risk for trisomy, Autism just to name two) that you would have if you conceived naturally.

I know many single kids who resulted from IVF and one set of triplets, and ALL of them are toddlers/kids now who behave 100% normally, just like any other kid. The triplets were born 5 weeks early and don't have any developmental or physical delays... what types of behaviors are you referring to? Remember, IVF just fertilizes the egg outside the body, it doesn't alter the genetic chemistry of the embryo. Babies don't suffer any long-term effects as a result of IVF, it might be the age of the woman's eggs that creates any develomental issues for a child.
