✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
In child psychology, growth and development are two distinct concepts. Growth relates to changes in physical structure and size (such as height, weight, etc.) which are primarily quantitative and stop after a certain age. In contrast, development is a broader term encompassing physical, mental, social, and emotional aspects. Development is qualitative as well as representing overall changes resulting from maturation and experience, and it continues lifelong from conception to death.
