As part of healthy growth and development, children's body weight and shape are continually changing. Since children grow and develop at different rates, it is difficult to pinpoint a particular healthy weight for children. There are growth charts for children where weight and height are plotted against a standard according to age. These charts are not recommendations, but simply indicate where a child falls compared to other children. | |
