Growth and Development mean physical growth and mental development, or the development of a child’s abilities.

There should be continuous monitoring of children’s growth and development. This helps us to know if the child’s physical growth and development of abilities are happening on time. If a child is lagging, it might be due to a lack of nutrition, or they might be suffering from some diseases that are not visible externally but are present internally.

Therefore, there should be continuous monitoring of children’s growth and development.
