Quiz: Growth
Ans: refers to specific body changes and increases in the child's size, such as a child's
height, weight, head circumference, and body mass index. These size changes can usually
be easily measured.
Quiz: Development
Ans: typically refers to an increase in complexity, a change from relatively simple to more
complicated. Development usually involves a progression along a continuous pathway on
which the child acquires more refined knowledge, behaviors, and skills. The sequence is
basically the same for all children, however, the rate varies.
Quiz: Similarities in growth:
Ans: >Growth proceeds from the head downward and from the center of the body
outward.
>Children gain control of the head and neck first, then the arms, and finally, the legs.
>At birth, the brain, heart, and spinal cord are fully functioning to support the infant.
>As children grow, the arm and leg muscles develop, followed by the finger and toe
muscles.

adequate sleep, and regular exercise.
>Children do not grow at perfectly steady rates throughout childhood.
>Children will experience weeks or months of slightly slower growth, followed by growth
spurts.
>Differences in the amount of growth can be a source of self-consciousness for some

Quiz: If you detect that a child is self-conscious about his/her size, how would you help
him/her work on increasing his/her self-acceptance?
Ans: Either individually or with a group of children, talk about how things are different but
equally important and valuable. You could use the example of a litter of puppies or kittens
that are different colors and sizes, both larger and smaller. While they are different, they
are all special and will grow into wonderful dogs or cats. You could also use different fruits,
kinds of ice cream—and finally differences in people—to help the child or children
understand that differences are not bad, but rather make each person special.
Quiz: If you have some concern about a growth-related issue involving a child, how
would you approach this issue with the parent(s)?

, Ans: Share information about typical growth patterns with the parent(s). You may wish to
share it with all your parents. After going over this information with the parent(s), you
could ask them if they have any questions or concerns and if they have had any
discussions with the child's doctor. If you detect the parent(s) have not had much
interaction with a doctor and do not connect the growth information with their child,
gently explain your concerns and have available local resources for medical care if the
family needs that assistance. Make sure all discussions occur in a calm and confidential
manner.
Quiz: Principle 1 - Developmental Sequence is Similar for All
Ans: >Children develop in relatively the same ways.
>There is a typical sequence of development that occurs as a child grows.
>While the sequence is similar, and the behaviors or skills emerge in the same order,
children can take more or less time with each behavior or skill.
>They can move forward, regress for a short time, then move forward again.
>Some children may skip a behavior or skill as they move forward.
Quiz: Principle 2 - Development Proceeds from General to Specific
