Growth & Development Assesment

Growth and development assessment is an essential part of pediatric and general healthcare. It helps in understanding how a child is progressing physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. At Ayushmaan Clinic, under the guidance of Dr. Manoj Sharma, this evaluation ensures that children are achieving milestones appropriate for their age. Growth assessment mainly focuses on physical parameters such as height, weight, body mass index (BMI), and head circumference. These indicators are compared with standard growth charts to identify whether a child is underweight, overweight, or growing normally. Developmental assessment, on the other hand, looks at areas like speech, language, motor skills, social behavior, and cognitive abilities. Regular growth and development monitoring is crucial because it allows early detection of nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, learning difficulties, or developmental delays. Early identification makes timely treatment and intervention possible, preventing complications in the future. At Ayushmaan Clinic, Nirman Nagar, Jaipur, Dr. Manoj Sharma emphasizes a holistic approach, combining medical expertise with parental guidance. The goal is not only to treat illnesses but also to promote healthy physical and mental development, ensuring every child reaches their full potential.
