Growth and Development Plan

Growth and Development Plan :- Change is the law of nature. Conscious or non-living objects are subject to change. Conscious objects are distinguished primarily from inanimate objects to maintain the flow and cycle of life. The seeds, after germinating in the soil, grow as plants and then as specific plants or trees, which become flowers and produce seeds or fruits for greater germination. The same goes for birds, animals and humans, which can breed their species by transmitting specific characteristics of the species through sex between males and females.

With respect to man, the process of fertilization of the mother’s egg (egg) by the father’s sperm cell results in life in the mother’s womb. The mother’s womb becomes the site and meaning for the growth and development of a new life, and only after nine months can the baby come to the world as a new birth. The time spent in the mother’s womb is called the prenatal period and usually does not include a chronological calculation of age.

In all animals, including humans, the prenatal period resembles the time it takes for a seed to germinate to leave the soil, which then grows and becomes a fully developed plant or tree. The processes by which a germinated seed or embryo is transformed into a mature plant or fully developed is collectively called growth and development.

Educational Psychology – Growth and Development

Definition of growth and development.

Development is the progressive increase in the size of a child or parts of a child. Development is the progressive acquisition of various skills (abilities) such as supporting the head, speaking, learning, expressing emotions and interacting with others. Growth and development go hand in hand but at different rates.

Importance of assessing growth and development

The evaluation of growth and development is very useful to determine the health and nutritional status of the child. Continuous normal growth and development indicate the health and good nutritional status of the child. Abnormal growth or growth failure is a symptom of the disease. Therefore, growth measurement is an essential component of the physical exam.

Factors that affect growth and development.

The growth and development pattern of each child is determined by genetic and environmental factors. Genetic factors determine the capacity and limits of growth and development. If favorable, environmental factors, such as proper nutrition, facilitate the achievement of genetic potential for growth and development. Adverse factors, which act alone or in combination, slow down or inhibit growth and development. Some adverse factors are malnutrition, infection, congenital malformations, hormonal disorders, disability, lack of emotional support, lack of sports and lack of language training. To promote optimal growth, these environmental factors can be eliminated or reduced. Once they are eliminated, growth has a period to maintain. The growth rate during this period is higher than normal. This growth rate continues until the previous growth pattern is reached. The growth rate then decreases at a normal rate determined by the individual’s genetic factors. A child determined to be genetically tall grows a little faster than a genetically shortened child. Similarly, a child determined to be genetically intelligent develops his intelligence more quickly than a child determined genetically to be less intelligent.
