Classifying Growth and Developmental Changes
Growth and developmental changes can be classified into two; namely:
- Temporary changes and
- Permanent changes
1. Temporary Changes: These include growth of pimples in male and female at adolescence, fatness, enlargement of stomach after a meal or intake of water. These changes are usually due to food in-take. Other temporary changes are bedwetting, sweating and rise in body temperature. Temporary changes may naturally disappear after some time. They can also be corrected medically or by change in behavior.
