Every child grows and develops at their own pace. Regular pediatric visits let Dr. Preeti Chadha track height, weight, development and behaviour over time — and take a closer look early if something does not seem to be progressing as expected.
What we assess
- Height, weight and BMI (growth tracking)
- Developmental milestones
- Speech and language development
- Behaviour and learning concerns
- Puberty and growth in the teenage years
- When further evaluation may be needed
- Guidance and reassurance for parents
Questions parents often ask
How do I know if my child is growing normally?
Growth is judged over time against age- and sex-appropriate charts. A steady pattern matters more than any single measurement, and it is the overall picture of your child’s health that counts.
My child is not talking as much as other children — should I worry?
Children learn to talk at different speeds, but delays, or losing words or skills they already had, deserve an assessment rather than waiting. The earlier a concern is looked at, the easier it is to help.
What developmental milestones should I track?
Milestones cover movement, language, social interaction and problem-solving. You do not need to turn childhood into a checklist — regular pediatric check-ups pick up anything that needs closer attention.
My child seems shorter than other children — does that mean a problem?
Not necessarily. Height depends on family patterns, nutrition and the timing of puberty. Having your child measured and plotted over time shows whether growth is on track.
