    • Growth can be measured quantitatively, whereas development is a qualitative process.
    • An individual can grow without developing, but not vice versa.

    Freud's Psychosexual Theory

    • Failing to resolve the conflict of a particular stage can result in fixation, which can lead to unhealthy personality traits.
    • The primary focus of child development during the Oral Stage is the mouth and the pleasure derived from sucking and eating.
    • The Toddler stage (1-3 years) focuses on the anus and the pleasure derived from expelling and retaining feces.
