CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -After age 1, a baby’s growth in length slows quite a bit. By age 2, growth in height usually continues at a fairly steady rate of about 2½ inches (6 centimeters) per year until adolescence. No child grows at a perfectly steady rate throughout this period of childhood, though.

Detailed explanation-2: -Kids tend to get taller at a pretty steady pace, growing about 2.5 inches (6 to 7 centimeters) each year. When it comes to weight, kids gain about 4–7 lbs. (2–3 kg) per year until puberty starts. This is also a time when kids start to have feelings about how they look and how they’re growing.

Detailed explanation-3: -Genes aren’t the only factor in your growth and eventual height, however. You also need to eat right, get plenty of sleep, and exercise regularly to grow to your full potential. Eating unhealthy foods, staying up too late, and not exercising can definitely have a negative impact on your growth.

Detailed explanation-4: -Although male children get a later start compared to their female peers, they eventually catch up, and then some. Most girls stop growing taller by age 14 or 15. However, after their early teenage growth spurt, boys continue gaining height at a gradual pace until around 18.

Detailed explanation-5: -Babies grow at different rates. For example, breastfed babies tend to grow more quickly than nonbreastfed babies in the first six months of life, and tend to grow more slowly in the second six months of life. Nonbreastfed babies tend to grow faster in the second six months of life.
