, QUESTION 1
1.1.
In child development, growth means the physical changes we can see. This
includes things like getting taller, gaining weight, and the body getting stronger.
Growth is mostly about the body and can be measured. For example, a baby’s
height and weight increase as they grow older (Loggerenberg & Haasbroek, 2018).
Development, on the other hand, means the full process of change in a child’s life.
This includes not only physical growth but also how a child thinks, feels, learns,
relates to others, and behaves. It happens in five areas: physical, cognitive,
emotional, social, and normative (moral) development. Development shows how a
child matures over time. It cannot be easily measured like height, but it is very
important. For example, learning to talk, to control emotions, to share with others,
and to understand right from wrong are all part of development (Loggerenberg &
Haasbroek, 2018). Growth is part of development, but development is much bigger.

A collectivist culture is one where people are taught to focus on the group, like the
family or community. The needs of the group come first. Cultures like those in Africa,
China, and India are examples (Loggerenberg & Haasbroek, 2018).
An individualist culture is one where people focus more on themselves. Personal
freedom, choice, and goals are most important. Examples include the United States,
Australia, and Germany.
1.2.2
In collectivist cultures:
Children are taught to help others and work together.
The family and community come before the individual.
In individualist cultures:
