Growth & Development FAQs
Simple answers to common questions parents may have about discussing growth and development with a paediatrician.
What is Growth & Development care?
It is paediatric care focused on understanding a child’s growth and development as they move through different stages of childhood and adolescence.
What can I discuss during a Growth & Development consultation?
You can discuss changes you have noticed in your child, questions about their growth or development, or anything that is causing you concern.
Should I wait until I am certain there is a problem?
No. If you have a concern or question about your child’s growth or development, you can discuss it with a paediatrician even if you are unsure whether it is significant.
Does Growth & Development care include older children?
Yes. The paediatric service framework covers children through adolescence, and growth and development can be discussed at different stages of childhood.
Can I discuss my child’s developmental concerns?
Yes. Developmental Concerns are listed as a related paediatric service, so parents can raise developmental questions and concerns as part of their child’s care.
What if I am not sure which paediatric service my child needs?
You can start by discussing your concern with the paediatric team. They can help you understand which aspect of your child’s health or development should be addressed.
