✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
In child psychology, 'Growth' and 'Development' are two distinct yet interrelated concepts. Growth is primarily related to quantitative changes in physical structure and size (such as length, weight, and height), which stops at a certain age (usually after achieving maturity). In contrast, 'Development' is a broad and continuous process that runs from conception to death (cradle to grave). Development encompasses quantitative changes as well as qualitative changes (such as efficiency, intellectual capacity, and emotional balance).
