Abstract

Growth monitoring is a crucial component of pediatric healthcare, enabling healthcare providers to assess and promote optimal growth and development in children. This process involves regular measurement of height, weight, and other parameters to identify deviations from expected growth patterns. Early identification of growth-related issues allows for timely interventions, promoting healthier outcomes and preventing long-term health consequences. This article reviews the principles of growth monitoring, its significance in pediatric health, the methods employed, and the role of parents and healthcare providers in this essential process. By emphasizing the importance of consistent growth monitoring, we aim to encourage proactive healthcare measures for children.
