Growth disorders are anomalies or irregularities during a child’s growth and development. This means that a child can either grow more slowly or faster when compared to other children of the same age. Weight and height are the main, more evident characteristics of growth. When these measurements are different from the standard growth chart, there may be a growth disorder present. You should have your child examined periodically to determine whether there are irregularities in their growth process.
