Walk into any classroom and you'll see kids of the same age in all shapes and sizes. Some kids look very small compared to their peers while others literally stand head and shoulders above the rest. The fact is, kids grow at their own pace. Big, small, tall, short - there is a wide range of healthy shapes and sizes among children.So how should a parent figure out whether a child's height and weight measurements are "normal"? Whether he or she is developing on track? How tall the child is likely to grow? Or whether any health problems are affecting growth? Growth charts help answer those questions.The OneThing Growth Charts provide the charts and information parents need to track and understand their child's growth. Based on models developed by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), this book is used to record a child's height, weight and body mass index (BMI) and plot measures against established growth curves.This version for boys ages 2-20 years.

Written to assist managers of child health programs, this publication explains the features and uses of a simple visual chart for monitoring childhood growth and detecting changes in nutritional and health status. The first part of the book introduces the basic principles and procedures for measuring changes in growth and knowing when these changes signal a deterioration in health. Highly practical information on the design and use of growth charts is presented. In order to ensure that growth charts are understood and properly used by community health workers, the book alerts program managers to specific problems of design, presentation, recording, or interpretation that should be considered when developing or adapting a chart for local use. Illustrations show a prototype chart and modified versions developed to meet special needs in India, Indonesia, Colombia, Thailand, and Brazil. The book also shows how such charts can be used for the education of mothers in appropriate feeding practices and the development of a medical history. The second part of the book offers guidelines for training health workers to use the chart. Information ranges from important points to stress when teaching weighing procedures to examples of cases where growth information might be misinterpreted. (RH)
