Question

Differentiate between growth and development.

Answer 1

Growth is just 'able to get bigger,' whereas development is an improvement. If the weight of a child increases from 35 kg to 40 kg, the increase of 5 kg is attributed to growth. On the other hand, when substantial changes in IQ are recorded in the brainpower of a child, development is identified. For example, during childhood, the IQ level of the child is relatively low but can improve significantly into adulthood.

Complete answer:

Growth	Development
A quantitative increase in size is called growth. A net increase in object size or mass.	Development is a process in which physical-economic, environmental, social, and demographic components are generated through growth, improvement, positive change, or addition.
Growth is called a physical transition	Development is considered as a physical, social, or psychological transition
Structural development is growth	Development is considered functional
Growth is external and cellular	Development is internal and organizational
When the object enters the maturity stage, development ceases.	A lifelong phase is a development

For all infants, the sequence of development is similar, but the rate of development varies from child to child.

Note: Growth is related to the incremental physical transition from one point to another. The incremental transformation of behavioral and ability set changes, on the other hand, is development. Creation is a mechanism that is consistent and continues throughout life. Your child has the unique ability to gain as much experience and skills into adulthood to cope with different life challenges. Based on their extensive experience, they will demonstrate advanced abilities such as oratory and problem-solving skills even at 50 years of age.
