Question
What is the meaning of growth and development?
Answer in Brief
Solution
- Growth refers to physical changes in size, such as increased height, weight, and organ and tissue sizes. It is a measurable, quantitative process that occurs as people age, especially during childhood and adolescence. Growth may or may not bring development, such as an increase in the weight of the brain.
- Development is a broad term that includes physical growth and cognitive, emotional, social, and behavioural changes. It is the growth of talents, skills, and functions, such as learning to walk, talk, think, and interact with others. Development can occur without growth, for example, intellectual functions in abstract thinking.
