INTRODUCTION
Growth and development is a process where the person thinks normally, eventually and takes a responsible place in society.
Changes occur is from conception to the adolescence. The period of growth and development extends throughout the life cycle. It
is important for a nurse to understand the early periods as well as the total life cycle of an individual to better understand the
behaviour of parents and others who provide care of the child.
Growth and development-
The process of growth and development starts before the baby born that is from the conception in the mother womb. The period extends
throughout the life cycle.
GROWTH-
It is the process of physical maturation resulting an increase in size of the body and various organs. It occurs by multiplication of cells and an
increase in intracellular substance. it is quantitative changes of the body which can be measured in inches/centimetre/ and pounds/ kilogram. It is
progressive and measurable phenomenon.
DEVELOPMENT
It is the process of functional and physiological maturation of the individual. it is progressive increase in skill and capacity to function. It is
qualitative aspect of maturation and difficult to measure.
Principle of Growth and Development
• Cephalocaudal direction
• Proximodistal direction
• General to Specific

Cephalocaudal direction
• The process of cephalocaudal direction from head down to tail. This means that improvement in
structure and function come first in the head region, then in the trunk, and last in the leg region.
Proximodistal direction
The process in proximodistal from center or midline to periphery direction. development proceeds from
near to far - outward from central axis of the body toward the extremities.
General to Specific
• Children use their cognitive and language skills to reason and solve problems.
• Children at first are able hold the big things by using both arms, In the next part able to hold things in a single hand, then only able to pick
small objects like peas, cereals etc.
• Children when able to hold pencil, first starts draw circles then squares then only letters after that the words.

• Development proceeds from general to specific responses.
Factor influencing Growth and Development
1. Genetic
Certain hereditary factors influences on the body formation. Tall parents have tall offspring. Genetic &
chromosomal disorder also effect on growth & development of a baby. Sometimes it is not possible to
prevent the genetic factors but to take necessary care.
2. Nutritional
Nutritional deficiency considerably retards physical growth. Malnourished mother produce babies
with IUGR. Over nutrition may cause obesity. So to control the nutritional requirements of mother is
necessary to have a health child. This factor is neglected in our country, specially the poor families can
not afford to have a proper nutrition during pregnancy. A balanced diet containing all the basic
food principles such as protein, vitamins, minerals etc. According to the World Health Organization.
Lack of proper nutrition can interfere with the maturation of your child’s brain and body.
3. Socio Economic Condition:
Poor socio-economic condition affects growth & development. Sanitary conditions, various parasitic
morbidity, poor housing, stressful family condition, bad financial situation etc have a serious effect on

Child Growth and Development. Children’s coming from adequate finances are more likely to grow and develop to optimal levels, according to
the Annual Review of Psychology.
4. Environmental & seasonal
Physical, psychological, social, cultural factors & harvest seasons have a positive effect over
growth & development . Urbanization has a positive effect on growth. Geographical
environment has a beneficial effect on Child Growth and Development.
5. Chronic diseases:
Chronic untreated diseases of heart, lungs, liver etc impair growth and development
seriously. Growth Hormone Deficiency, Hypothyroidism, Cushing’s Syndrome etc medical
condition that needs early attention.
6. Emotional & cultural
Trauma from unstable family, insecurity, sibling jealousy & loss of parents has effect on
growth & development.

7. Intrauterine
IUGR & maternal infections & diseases affect on growth & development. Maternal diabetes may
result in macrosomia causing more than normal weight baby.
Growth and Development Monitoring
Assessment of growth
• Assessment of physical growth can be done by anthropometric measurement and the study of velocity of physical growth.
• Measurement of different growth parameters is the importance nursing responsibility in child care.
Weight
• weight is one of the best criteria for assessment of growth and a good indicator of health
and nutritional status of child.
• Among Indian children, weight of the full terms neonate at birth is approximately 2.5 kg to
3.5kg.
• There is about 10% loss of weight first week of life, which regains by 10 days of age.

• Then, weight gain is about 25- 30 gm per day for 1st 3 month and 400gm/ month till one year of age.
• The infants double weight gain their birth weight by 5month of age, trebled by one year, fourth time by two years, five times by three year, six
times by five year, seven times by seven year and ten times by ten year.
• Then weight increases rapidly during puberty followed by weight increase to adult size.
Length and height
• Increase in height indicates skeletal growth. Yearly increments in height gradually diminished from birth to maturity.
• At birth average length of a healthy Indian newborn baby is 50 cm.
• it increases to 60 cm at 3 months, 70 cm of 9 month and 75 cm at one year of age. 25
• In second year, there is 12 cm increase, third year it is 9 cm, fourth year it is 7 cm and in fifth year it is 6 cm.
• so the child double the birth by 4 to 4.5 years of age afterwards there is about 5 cm increase in every year till onset of puberty.

Body Mass index (BMI)
• It is an important criteria which helps to assess the normal growth or its deviations i.e. malnutrition or obesity. Weight in Kg BMI = -------------
------------------- (Height in meter) 2
• BMI remains content up to the age of 5 years. If the BMI is more than 30 kg/m2, it indicates obesity and if it is less then 15Kg/m2 , it indicates
malnutrition.
BMI Categories:- –Underweight = <18.5 –Normal weight = 18.5–24.9 –Overweight = 25–29.9 –Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater 30
Head circumference
• It is related to brain growth and development of intracranial volume. Average head
circumference measured about 35 cm at birth.
• At 3 months it is about 40 cm, at 6 month 43 cm, at one year 45cm, at 2 years 48 cm, at 7 year
50 cm and at 12 years of age it is about 52 cm, almost same a adult.
• If head circumference increase more than 1 cm in two weeks during the first 3 month of age
then hydrocephalus should be suspected.
• Head circumference is measured by ordinal tap, placing it over the occipital protuberance at
the back, above the ear on the side and just over the supraorbital ridges in front measuring the
point of height circumference.

Fontanelle Closure
• At birth, anterior and posterior fontanelle are usually present. Posterior fontanelle closes early few
weeks(6-8week) of age.
• The anterior fontanelle normally closes by 12- 18 months of age. Early closure of fontanelle
indicates craniostenosis due to premature closure of skull sutures.
Chest circumference
• chest circumference or thoracic diameters is an importance parameter of assessment of growth and nutrition
status.
• At birth it is 2-3cm less than head circumference. At 6 to 12 months of age both become equal.
• After first year of age, chest circumference is greater than head circumference by 2.5 cm and by the age of 5
year, it is about 5 cm larger than head circumference.
• Chest circumference is measured by placing the tape measure around the chest at level by placing the tape
measure around the chest at the level of the nipple, in between inspiration and expiration.

Mid Upper Arm Circumference(MUAC)
• This measurement helps to assess the nutritional status of younger children.
• There is growth due to inadequate nutritional, which can be this simple particle and useful
measurement.
• The average MUAC at birth is 11 to 12 cm, at one year of age it is 12 to 16 cm, at 1 to 5 years it
is 16 to 17 cm, at 12 years it is 17 to 18 cm and at 15 years it is 20 to 21cm.
Eruption of teeth
• There is a variation for the time of eruption of teeth. First teeth commonly the lower central incision may appear in 6 to 7 months of age.
• It can be delayed even up to 15 months, which also can be considered within the normal range of time for teething.
• So dentition is not dependable parameters for assessment of growth.
• There are ‘two sets of teeth, temporary teeth bigger in size for two sets of teeth.

Permanent Teeth Eruption Chart

Osseous growth
• Bony growth follows a definite pattern and time schedule from birth to maturation.
• It is calculated by the appearance of ossification center by X – ray study.
• Skeletal maturation or bone growth is an indicator of physiological development and continue up to 25 years of age. 44
Growth monitoring
• Assessment of growth may be done by longitudinal & cross sectional studies. The common parameters used for growth monitoring include,
head circumference, chest circumference, UL/LS ratio. The following are the 3 members used for comparisons:-
• Use of mean/median values.
• Use of percentile
• Use of indices as weight for height & weight for age.
• Common reference values- –WHO reference value – Indian standards
Indian standards- • ICMR under took a national wide cross sectional study during the year 1956- 1965. This tool is widely used in India as the
reference value to assess growth.

Assessment of Development
• Normal development is a complex process & has a multitude of facets. However, it is convenient to understand & assess development under
the following domains.
–Gross motor development
–Fine motor skill development
–Personal & social development

–Language
–Vision & hearing.
Gross motor development
• Motor development progress in an orderly sequence to ultimate attainment of locomotion & more complex motor tasks thereafter. In an infant
it is assessed & observed as follows:-

Fine motor skill development
• Fine motor development upon neural tract maturation. Fine motor development promotes adaptive actives with fine sensorimotor adjustments
and include eye coordination, hand eye coordination, hand to mouth coordination, hand skill as finger thumb apposition, grasping, dressing ect.

Personal & social development
• Personal and social development includes personal reactions to his own social and cultural situations with neuromotor maturity and
environment stimulation. It is related to interpersonal and social skill as social smile, recognition of mother, use of toys.

Assessment of Development
• Healthy development, in all forms, particularly social/emotional, communication, and behavior, should be monitored by parents and physicians
through screenings at each well visit.
• The Denver Developmental screening test
• Denver articulation screening examination (DASE)
• Baroda screening test
• Trivandrum development screening test
• Other test
– Woodside DST
– Cognitive adaptive test
– Early language milestone etc.

The Denver Developmental screening test
• Developmental originally by Franken – burg and dodds(1967), this simple, economic and useful test screens for developmental delays during
infancy and the preschool period.
• On the test, the age division are monthly unit 2 years of age , and half yearly from 2 to 6 years of age.

Baroda Screening test
• It was developed by Dr. Promila phatak with 25 test items primarily for psychological aspects. The test is relevant for age 0 to 30 months.
Gross motor, fine motor and cognitive aspects are evaluated in 10 mints mainly by the psychologist.
Trivandrum development screening test
• It is simplified version of Baroda DST that can be used by the health worker, nurses and pediatricians/ physicians. It has17 test items relevant
for 0 to 2 years of age. The children are evaluated in three domains( gross motor, fine motor and cognitive for 5 minutes only.

Ballard Maturational Assessment
The Ballard Maturational Assessment, Ballard Score, or Ballard Scale is a commonly used technique of gestational age assessment. It
assigns a score to various criteria, the sum of all of which is then extrapolated to the gestational age of the fetus. These criteria are divided into
physical and neurological criteria. This scoring allows for the estimation of age in the range of 26 weeks-44 weeks. The New Ballard Score is an
extension of the above to include extremely pre-term babies i.e. up to 20 weeks.
The scoring relies on the intra-uterine changes that the fetus undergoes during its maturation. Whereas the neurological criteria depend mainly
upon muscle tone, the physical ones rely on anatomical changes. The neonate (less than 37 weeks of age) is in a state of physiological hypotonia.
This tone increases throughout the fetal growth period, meaning a more premature baby would have lesser muscle tone.

EMBROLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT
ZYGOTE
When a single sperm enter the mother’s egg cell,the resulting cell is called a zygote.the zygote contains all of
the genetic information(DNA) need to become a baby. Half of the genetic formation comes from the
mother’s egg and half from the father’s sperm. The zygote spends the next few days travelling down the
fallopian tube and divides to form a ball of cells.
BLASTOCYST
The zygote continue ti divide,creating an inner group of cells with an outer shell.this stage is called a
blastocyst. The stage is called blastocyst. The inner group cell will become the embryo,while the outer group
of cells will become the membranes,that nourish and protect it.
The blastocyst reaches the womb (uterus) around day 5, and implants into the uterine wall on about day 6.
At this point in the mother’s menstrual cycle,the lining of the uterus has grown and is ready to support a
baby.the blastocyst sticks tightly to the lining,where it receives nourishment via the mother’s blood stream.

EMBRYO
The cells of the embryo now multiply and begin to take on specific functions.this process is called differentiation it leads to the various cell types
that make up a human being (sucuch as blood cells,kidney cells and nerve cells).
There is rapid growth, and the baby’s main external features begin to take form.it is during this critical period (most of the first trimester)that
growing baby is most susceptible to damage.the following can interfere with the baby’s development.
 Alcohol, certain prescription-arid recreational drugs,and other substances that causes birth defects .
 Infection such as rubella or cytomegalovirus.

The Fetal Development
The period of time between conception and birth during which the fetus grows and develops inside the mother’s womb is called gestation.in
humans,the length of pregnancy,or gestiotinal age ,is the time measured from the frist day of women’s last menstrual cycle to the current date.it
is measured in weeks.gestational age also called menstrual age.
If you got pregnancy using infertility treatments called assisted reproductive technology,gestational age determined by adding 2 weeks to the
conptional age.
The following list describes specific changes that occur in the womb.
 Week of pregnancy (gestational age)
Fertilization
When semen is deposited in the vagina,the spermatozoa travel through the cervix and body of the uterus and into the fallopian tubes.fertilization
of the ovum (egg cell)usually takes place in the fallopian tube.many sperm must cooperate to penetrate the thick protective shell-like barrier that
surrounds the ovum.the frist sperm penetrates fully into the egg donates its genetic material(DNA).the egg then polarizes,repelling any additional
sperm.the resulting combination is called zygote,a new and genetically unique human organism.the term conception refers variably to either
fertilization or to formation of the conceptus after uterine implation,and this terminology is controversial.
Implation
Some spotting (also known as implation bleeding)may occur about 10-14 days after conception,you may belive you are starting your period but
generally this bleeding is extremely light and lasts only a dat or so.

Fetal Development in the first month
• At this point the face and the neck are becoming evident
• The heart and blood vessels continue to develop
• By the end of the first month, the embryo is about 1/10 of an inch long. The heart, which is no larger than a poppy seed, has begun
beating

Two Months
• Eyelids and ears are developing
• The tip of the nose is becoming visible.
• The embryo is about half an inch long and has distinct, slightly webbed fingers. Veins are clearly visible. The heart has divided into right
and left chambers

Three Months
• The fetus measures about 2 inches and starts to make its own movements The sex organs of the baby should start to become clear.
Four Months
• The fetus now is about 4.3 to 4.6 inches and weighs about 3.5 ounces. The baby's eyes can blink and the heart and blood vessels are fully
formed. The baby's fingers and toes should have fingerprints. The baby is covered with a layer of thick hair called lanugos

Five Months
• The baby weighs about 10 ounces and is a little over 6 inches long
• A protective coating called vernix caseosa begins to form on baby's skin
Six Months
• Eyebrows and eyelids are visible. the baby's lungs are filled with amniotic fluid, and he has started breathing motions.

Seven Months
• By the end of the seventh month, your baby weighs about 3 1/2 pounds and is about 12 inches long. His body is well-formed. Fingernails
cover his fingertips
Eight Months
• The baby is gaining about half a pound per week, and layers of fat are piling on. He has probably turned head-down in preparation for
birth. He weighs between 4 and 6 pounds

Nine Moths
• Babies differ in size, depending on many factors (such as gender, the number of babies being carried, and size of the parents), so the
baby's overall rate of growth is as important as the actual size. On average, it's about 18.5 inches and weighs close to 6 pounds. The brain
has been developing rapidly. Lungs are nearly fully developed. The head is usually positioned down into the pelvis by now.

DEVELOPMENTAL MILESTONE
NEONATE
NEW BORN
Newborn period encompasses the first four weeks of extra uterine life.it is an important link in the chain of events from conception to
adulthood.a healthy newborn infant born at term, between 38 to 42 weeks,cries immediately after birth, establishes independent rhythmic
respiration,quickly adapts with the extra-uterine environment,having an averages birth weight and no congenital anomalies.
