Abstract

Most children with congenital anomalies, teratogenesis, inborn errors of metabolism, and acquired toxicity or injury will have abnormal growth and development during the first few years of life. Many of the conditions are treatable, and early intervention is associated with improved prognosis. Developmental and growth assessment should be part of any routine visit to a primary care clinician. An overview of normal growth and development is outlined, and some common abnormalities are discussed.
