i am studying for a diploma in child care and was hoping that someone could explain the difference between development and learning in children? or could perhaps guide me to a site where it could be explained to a layperson.

How I see the difference is that development is the physical and cognitive etc growth at various ages that allow learning of various things to take place. E.g A child can't be taught to skip until physically they have developed their balance and co ordination and mind to a sophisticated enough level to be able to jump and turn a rope and count all at the same time.
