What is growth?

Growth is when something gets bigger or better over time.

Imagine you have a little seed in your hand. It’s tiny, like a speck of dirt. But if you plant it in the soil and water it every day, something amazing happens, it starts to grow! First, it becomes a small sprout, then a tall plant, and finally, it turns into a big tree that can give you shade on a hot summer day.

That’s growth, it's like the seed getting bigger and stronger every day because of care and time.

How Growth Happens

Growth doesn’t just happen overnight. It needs little steps, like:

  • A little bit more water each day
  • A little bit more sunlight each morning
  • A little bit more time to stretch its leaves

Every tiny change helps the seed grow into a tree, just like how you might learn new things every day and become smarter or taller over time.
