Question

Will there be anything common in the pattern of development of 3years old male child and 7years old female child?

Answer 1

The common in the pattern of development of 3 years old male child and 7 years old female child is growing in height and weight.

Explanation:

• Physical growth refers to an increase in body size (length or height and weight) and in the size of organs.
• During the preschool and school years growth in height and weight is steady.
• Children tend to grow a similar amount each year until the next major growth spurt occurs in early adolescence.
• The average height of an adult man is 14 cm taller than the average height of an adult woman.
• Bones increase in length because of growth plates in the bones called epiphyses.
• As puberty progresses the growth plates mature and at the end of puberty they fuse and stop growing.
• Growth charts are used to compare your child's height, weight, and head size against children of the same age.
• For example the weight on the 50th percentile line means that one half of the children in the United States weigh more than that number and one half of the children weigh less.
