Growth in development usually means maturation, most often biological, such as height, weight and puberty, but also psychological, such as vocabulary.
In practice
A child's vocabulary and social skills expanding year by year alongside their height and weight.

Change is not a straight line. It is non-linear and can run in either direction across a life.
