Video Summary of Growth and development

In humans, growth and development are processes that start from the moment we're conceived and continue throughout our lives. Growth refers to the physical changes that involve an increase in the body's weight and height, and a change in the body's appearance and functioning. On the other hand, development is about the change in psychological functional ability, involving mental, emotional, and social functions. The rate of growth varies from person to person. It's influenced by various factors, including genetics, nutrition, environment, and health.
