Abstract
Kashyap Samhita is one of the most ancient compilation of Acharya Kashyapa related to care of the children. Phakka roga is a special contribution of Kashyapa Samhita. The development has been mentioned in this context. The prenatal, natal, postnatal, socioeconomic and environmental factors affecting growth and development of child.Etiology of the disease, itself is selfexplanatory and describing its type i.e., ksheeraja, garbhaja and vyadhija phakka. Qualitative and quantitative deficiency of required micro and macro nutrients affects the overall growth and development. Not even in neonatal period but also in-utero embryonic environment and fetal nourishment status determines the outcome after birth. The milk fed by mother is primary source of nourishment. Mother's milk if deficient in quantity and quality is responsible for impaired and delayed growth of child's physical and mental faculties. Neonatal insult exposure like chronic diseases i.e., recurrent gastrointestinal and respiratory infection, worm infestation, bleeding disorder, endocrine and metabolic disease decelerates the process of growth and overall wellbeing of a child. Socioeconomic and environmental factors contribute and play a vital role. Socially and economically sound family can bring up a child in a proper way whereas stressful social environment and poverty negatively affects the growth and developmental processes
