Development refers to the acquisition of skills, abilities, and behaviors as a child grows. The child in this scenario is not meeting developmental milestones related to gross motor skills, such as standing and pulling up, indicating a possible developmental lag. Growth refers to changes in size, height refers specifically to vertical measurement, and behavior encompasses a wide range of actions and responses beyond motor skills.
