Abstract

Early childhood is a critical period for physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development. Pediatricians play a vital role in monitoring growth and identifying developmental delays during this formative stage. This paper examines normative growth patterns, key developmental milestones, and the importance of early screening. By analyzing growth charts and age-specific developmental markers, clinicians can provide timely interventions that support optimal child development.
