CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Growth: refers to physical changes in size, such as gains in height and weight. Development: the gradual increase in skills and abilities that occurs over a lifetime.

Detailed explanation-2: -Human development is a lifelong process of physical, behavioral, cognitive, and emotional growth and change.

Detailed explanation-3: -Continuous development views development as a cumulative process, gradually improving on existing skills (Figure 2). With this type of development, there is a gradual change. Consider, for example, a child’s physical growth: adding inches to their height year by year.

Detailed explanation-4: -Do children go through gradual changes or are they abrupt changes? Normative development is typically viewed as a continual and cumulative process. The continuity view says that change is gradual. Children become more skillful in thinking, talking or acting much the same way as they get taller.

Detailed explanation-5: -Continuous development sees our development as a cumulative process: Changes are gradual. On the other hand, discontinuous development sees our development as taking place in specific steps or stages: Changes are sudden.
