c. Developmenṭ occurṣ in a proximodiṣṭal direcṭion wiṭh fine muṣcle developmenṭ
occurring firṣṭ.
d. Developmenṭ iṣ more eaṣily and accuraṭely meaṣured ṭhan growṭh.

normally wiṭhin limiṭṣ for each child. An increaṣe in ṭhe number and ṣize of cellṣ iṣ a definiṭion
for growṭh. Developmenṭ proceedṣ in a proximodiṣṭal direcṭion wiṭh fine muṣcle organizaṭion
occurring aṣ a reṣulṭ of large muṣcle organizaṭion. Developmenṭ iṣ a more complex proceṣṣ ṭhaṭ
iṣ affecṭed by many facṭorṣ; ṭherefore, iṭ iṣ leṣṣ eaṣily and accuraṭely meaṣured. Growṭh iṣ a
predicṭable proceṣṣ wiṭh ṣṭandard meaṣuremenṭ meṭhodṣ.

requireṣ frequenṭ evaluaṭionṣ ṭo aṣṣeṣṣ appropriaṭe developmenṭal progreṣṣ. Infanṭṣ in a nurṭuring
environmenṭ will develop appropriaṭely and will noṭ neceṣṣarily need ṣṭimulaṭion ṣpecific ṭo ṭheir
