Detailed Explanation
Understanding Growth vs. Development
In the psychological perspective of child development, Growth primarily refers to changes in physical structure and size (such as height, weight, etc.) which can be directly measured and stops at a certain age with maturation.
On the contrary, Development is a comprehensive and holistic process that encompasses not only quantitative changes but also qualitative changes (such as mental, social, emotional, and moral progress).
- Growth: Quantitative, measurable, stops at maturity.
- Development: Qualitative and quantitative, lifelong process ('Womb to Tomb').
