Most children don't lose their first set until the age of 5 for the front teeth, and even if they do grow with the child, it couldn't be much.. The molars and larger back teeth don't come in until 10-12 years old when the childs mouth is larger, and finally the wisdom teeth at around 18 years old.
A childs head is 2/3s it adult size when born, so I would conclude, with the above information, that no, the second set of teeth don't grow.

I don't really understand your answer but i do know that children start to get their molars at 2 years old.
