✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
In child psychology, 'Growth' primarily refers to quantitative changes in physical size, weight, and structure which stop after a certain time, whereas 'Development' is a lifelong, comprehensive, qualitative, and organized process. Development follows certain principles; for example, according to the 'cephalocaudal trend', development occurs from head to toe, and according to the 'proximodistal trend', development proceeds from the central part of the body (trunk or spinal cord) toward the peripheral organs (hands and feet).
