subjectAbstract

Growth is an essential feature of life of a child that distinguishes him or her from an adult. The process of growth starts from the time of conception and continues until the child grows into a fully mature adult.Development refers to qualitative and quantitative changes and acquisition of a variety of competencies for functioning optimally in a social milieu. Further development is a continuous process from birth to maturity.. It may be stressed that, besides 10% prevalence of developmental delay, the early identification of such problems remains difficult.There are different factors explained in Ayurvedic classics which are going for the maintenance and promotion of growth and development in children. This paper throws light on all those concepts aiding in a positive build-up of child's growth and development.
