Monitoring your child’s growth can be confusing at times, especially when you’re not sure what’s “normal”. Height-weight-age charts are useful tools to help you spot growth concerns early. They give you a clear picture of whether your child is growing at a healthy pace and when to seek help or just adjust lifestyle habits.
If your child is shorter than most kids their age, check their height on the chart to see if it’s in the healthy range.
Low weight on the chart for their age means they need more balanced diet or better meal routines.
If the weight is above the chart’s normal range, it’s time to encourage physical activity and healthy eating habits.
Rapid height or weight increase can be normal but tracking it on the chart will confirm if it’s age-appropriate.
Use the chart to see if your child’s height and weight is increasing year after year.
Charts are separate for boys and girls so you can understand growth patterns specific to your child.
Growth charts help you check if puberty is bringing the right physical changes at the right time.
Special growth charts can help track progress and catch up in early years.
If your child’s growth stalls, the chart will show if food habits are affecting development.
