Most books on child development has (a) chapter(s) on neuroplasticity and neural development, and how that relates to actual skills. I've only read one and skimmed a few, the one I read was a Dutch language one called 'Oei ik groei' so that's probably not much use to you. If you start reading any book on this I'm sure you'll find plenty on it, and they'll probably point you in the direction of dozens if not hundreds of others.

But if you're referring specifically to the 'evolutionary point of view' part in my sentence, I don't even remember what I meant by that - it doesn't make much sense, re-reading my sentence. I guess I just meant that brains develop in a way that makes them, early on, incapable of doing some things that adults can. Similar to how until the frontal lobe is fully grown (18/20 years old), children/youth can't control their impulses the same way someone with a grown, healthy frontal lobe can. So it's useless punishing children for some things because they literally can't change some behaviors; it's like beating a quadriplegic until he walks because 'he should just try harder'. (This is obviously a very simplistic and probably in many ways wrong description; I'm just using this as an analogy for what I was getting at).
