Detailed Explanation
In child psychology and pedagogy, 'Growth' and 'Development' are two distinct yet interrelated concepts. Growth is primarily related to quantitative changes in physical size, weight, and height, which can be measured. In contrast, 'Development' is a broad and comprehensive concept that encompasses quantitative changes as well as qualitative changes (such as mental, social, emotional, and moral development) and maturation. Development is a continuous process lasting from conception until death (lifelong). For a detailed study of this topic, you can refer to the Wikipedia reference.
