@irum
all of these are given in feldman books development portion.go through that,dw.
development is increase in function and skills while growth is increase in mass,maturation is systematic change in behaviour as a result of growth n development

Growth development and maturity are usually asked only to be defined....
Growth is an increase in the size of body as a whole or increase in any part of it.
Maturation usually refers to timing and tempo of progress towards mature biological states.
Development is the combination of both growth and maturation. It refers to acquisition and refinement of behavior expected by society.


Approaches to study of childeren...
I think personality theories explain a child's behavior best. And it is only through these theories that we can study them... Learning theories can also be another tool.
And yes if we have to talk about tools, Observation in natural environment is the best way.

Psychological characters of Infant...
I think they are well explained by Piaget in his sensorimotor development stage; It includes simple reflaxes, first habits and primary circular reactions, secondary circular reactions, coordination of secondary circular reactions, tertiary cicular reactions etc..
