Development |
| • Growth is measurable. |
• Development is not measurable. It can be felt and observed only. |
| • It stops after a certain age. |
• It continues till death. |
• Growth and development are related to each other. When a body grows in size, there is an increase in his capacity to do work. But sometimes development takes place without growth. e.g., if the physical growth is stunned, the person may have better mental, social and other developments.
