Growing & Changing
Understand how people grow and change over time
How We Grow and Change
All living things grow and change. You were once a tiny baby who could not walk or talk. Now you can run, read, and do many things! As you get older, your body gets bigger and you learn new skills.
Example
Changes as We Grow
As a baby you crawled, then you learned to walk. Your first teeth fell out and new adult teeth grew. You grew taller and your feet got bigger. What new thing have you learned this year?
Note
Remember
Everyone grows at their own pace. Some children are taller and some are shorter — that is perfectly normal. What matters is that you are healthy and keep learning.
