Growth is the measurable aspect of a person's increase in physical dimensions.Measurable growth indicators include changes in height,weight,teeth and bone,and sexual characteristics.Development is an interaction of biological,sociological and psychological forces.It occurs gradually and refers to changes in skill and capacity to function.These changes are qualitative in nature and difficult to measure in exact units.Maturation is the biological plan for the predictable milestones for growth and development.Physical growth and motor development are a function of maturation.The latency stage of development is part of Freud's psychoanalytic model of personality development.In the latency stage,Freud believed that the sexual urges from the earlier phallic stage are repressed and channeled into productive activities that are socially acceptable.
