Option 2 : They are not uniform

Development, which is continuous change is a phenomenon that is observed both in terms of quality and quantity. Principles of Human Development defines in what way a person will develop.

There are many principles of development as described below:

Rate of growth and development is not uniform:
- Though development is continuous, the rate of growth and development is not uniform.
- Rapid changes occur in the early years and slow down in later years of life.
- During adolescence again there is a sudden rise in growth and development, which slows down in later age of life.

Development follows a pattern: Prenatal (before birth) and postnatal (after birth) development of human beings follow a pattern or a general sequence. Physical development, motor or language development and intellectual development take place in definite sequences.
Principle of individual difference: With respect to development, the rate and quality of development in various dimensions differ from person to person. There is a difference in the growth rate between boys and girls. Girls mature earlier in comparison to boys. For eg, girls appear taller and well developed than boys of the same age.
Development proceeds from general to specific responses: Responses are the first general before they become specific almost in all dimensions of development. In the case of language development, the child before saying different words, letters, babble different sounds similarly sees large objects before seeing small objects. It means general ability precedes the specific activity in all the phases of the child’s development.
Principle of integration: By proceeding from general responses to specific responses again, these specific responses are integrated from the whole it means there is a movement from whole to parts and again from parts to whole.
Principle of interrelationship: Development in various aspects of the child is interdependent due to interrelationships. Development of one dimension in social aspect influences emotional development; and, in effect, all the dimensions of development relate with or influence each other.

Hence, we conclude that both growth and development are not uniform.
