Thus, since both processes are part of one whole the combined terms growth and development form an unitary concept that indicates the quatitative and qualitative of maturational changes of an organism

Patterns of Weight Increment 1, The first growth spurt occurs in the first year of life(the increment is about 6kg). 2 Growth is not at the same rate in different age The increment of weight during the first 3 months is equal to that of the following 9 months 3. Yearly increments increase slowly until the onset of puberty
