Growth and development … they just sound so similar. My MS word tells me that they are synonym but when we talk of growth and development in terms of child psychology though they are inseparable yet they are not interchangeable.
Growth refers to quantitative changes, change in structure , size, capacity of brain to learn to grasp, reason out etc.
On other hand development is qualitative. It may be defined as progressive series of orderly, coherent changes (Hurlock). Which means that it’s in order one after another.. … More commonly known as stages of development. The changes lead forward and are related to one another.
At every age there are changes that occur in the process of development. Some begin other mature yet others are in peak. Do you actually know that there are two different stages in which your child learns to throw a ball and catch the same ball. He can’t learn it together and you also need to concentrate and give him opportunities accordingly. Also did you know that he will learn most of the vocabulary at a particular stage, when that process is at peak, ever wondered if you are teaching him to run that time you yourself will be the roadblock in his development.
Early development is critical than later development ….. do u want to lose the chance ????
Have you ever felt the need to know more about it ?
