Detailed Explanation
Detailed Explanation
In child psychology, 'Growth' and 'Development' are distinct yet interrelated concepts:
- Growth: Primarily refers to physical and quantitative changes (such as increase in height, weight, and size) which stop after a certain age.
- Development: A comprehensive, holistic, and lifelong process that encompasses both quantitative and qualitative changes (such as mental, emotional, and social maturity).
According to the principles of development:
- Cephalocaudal Trend: Development proceeds in a longitudinal direction from head to toe.
- Proximodistal Trend: Development proceeds from the central axis of the body outward toward the peripheral extremities (e.g., from the spinal cord to the fingers).
Therefore, Option B accurately describes these scientific principles of child development.
