Questions & answers
What should I write on my growth chart?
First off, it's best to use a fine point permanent marker, like a Fine Felt Tip Sharpie, on personalized growth charts to write easily and accurately. A fatter tipped pen will be harder to write legibly with and will not look quite as clear and concise.
How are growth charts developed?
Growth charts have been constructed by observing the growth of large numbers of healthy children over time. The height, weight, and head circumference of a child can be compared to the expected parameters of children of the same age and sex to determine whether the child is growing appropriately.
How do you calculate growth rate of a child?
In pediatrics, the essential growth measurements in infants and toddlers to age 2 years are length, weight, head circumference, and weight-for-length. For children ages 3 years and up, the essential measurements are height, weight, and body mass index (BMI).
How do you make a growth chart?
Reading the lines Step 1: Find your child's age at the bottom of the grid. Step 2: Find your child's weight on either the right or left side of the grid. Step 3: Draw a dot where the two lines intersect. Step 4: Find the curve that is closest to that dot. Repeat: Find your child's length on either side of the grid.
How do you plot a child's growth chart?
Find the child's age on the horizontal axis. When plotting weight-for-length, find the length on the horizontal axis. Use a straight edge or right-angle ruler to draw a vertical line up from that point. Find the appropriate measurement (weight, length, stature, or BMI) on the vertical axis.
