I don’t think being an only child dictates your level of maturity and also don’t think you should expect much maturity from a 9 year old. That being said, if you really are concerned try giving her some responsibilities. Give her some weekly chores that she can be responsible for, maybe get her volunteering or have her join a sport or Girl Scouts or something.
Im just asking because she keeps saying she wish she can go back to being a baby and then she gets mad when I treat her like a big girl like she asked for but then on the other hand the school says she is acting silly and saying she cant do her work so I just think that has to do with maturity and growing up am I wrong

No it depends on a lot of things you can be mature if you're a only child
I’m also interested. She’s only 9. Does she have responsibilities? Consequences? I need to know what’s making her immature. My 10 year old is wise beyond his years but can’t manage to shower or brush his teeth without being told multiple times a day. I don’t consider that type of behavior immaturity. It comes with the age.
yes she does well with chores and doing things at home but when she goes to school she acts silly and doesnt do her work and shows no intrest we tired diffrent medcines but nothing works so I think its her being inmature but i could be wrong its just that I ran out of ideas

What is something she does or say that makes you believe she's immature?
She does not do her work at school she acts silly and doesn't seem to care and when I ask what can I do to help you do better she just says its hard and I not going to do it even though I tell her to show me where she struggles and she can't explain it to me or her teacher
There’s a 6 year age gap between myself and my brother and a 9 year age gap between myself and my sister, both of them being older than me. I’ve always been pretty mature, and I’m much more mature than my brother.
I don’t think that having or not having siblings truly has any correlation with being mature, it’s more so about how the parent(s) treat the child.
Being an old child has nothing to with maturity. If she doesnt like being babied treat her like she's a bit older give her more responsibilities to teach her how to be mature having more sibilings isn't gonna change that. My sister in thr middle child on her side and is VERY immature but they treat her like a baby and keep her sheltered so its not really her fault
