This document summarizes the key differences between growth and development in children. It states that growth refers to increases in size, mass, weight or volume through changes like height and weight. Development refers to qualitative changes that occur between birth and death towards intellectual, social and emotional maturity. While growth can be measured, development is qualitative and immeasurable. Growth occurs in different parts and may or may not lead to development, whereas development is continuous, progressive, and sequential across the whole organism.

7.  Growth is used in purely physical terms.
 It generally refers to change in size,length, height,weight &
shape Of body organs like the brains etc.
 Growth is one of the aspects of the development process.
 Growth does not continue throughout life, it stops when
maturity has been attired.
 The change produced by growth may be quantified.

8.  Development is a continuous and life long process.
 Development describes the change in the organism a

 Development implies improvement in functioning and
hence brings qualitative changes.

10. S. No Growth Development
1 Qualitative Quantitative
2 Objectively observed & measured It cannot be measured.
3 It does not continue throughout life
span. Stops after maturation.
It is continuous in all areas of mental
activity.
4 It is one aspect of development. It is complex and many sided.
5 It occurs in different parts. changes in the organisms.
6 It is not directional. It is progressive and sequential.
7 It is not uniform in all the parts. Rate of development is not uniform.
8 Individual differences exist. Children differs in the level of devp.
9 It is not affected by learning. Learning & experience affects.
10 Growth may or not lead to
development.
Development is integrative. Devp in one
aspects promotes the devp in other aspects.
