    • Development can be measured using various methods, including physical measurements, such as height and weight, and psychological assessments, such as cognitive and social skills evaluations.

    Influencing Variables

    • The most important variable influencing a child's growth is heredity, as it determines an individual's potential for growth and development.

    Circumferential Diameters

    • Circumferential diameters refer to the measurements of the circumference of body parts, such as the head, chest, or abdomen.
    • Examples of circumferential diameters include head circumference, chest circumference, and abdominal circumference.

    Developmental Timeline

    • Growth starts from conception and continues until physical maturity, which is typically reached in late adolescence or early adulthood.
    • The qualitative increase in the capacity to function is referred to as development.
