Then with the right question would come : What else would we consider to evaluate the development of the child and his good health .

We as doctors and as parents of child development judge the weight of the length that he has certain age , the ratio of right between the various parts of the body , the size of the circle of the head , the chest , the abdomen , the Teething . These data give us the opportunity to judge the physical development , the development of the child's body by his age .

But at the same time will not suffice with the data on the physical development of the child . Besides these we will look and will assess the psychological development of the child's nervous , his brain development , which appear with the ability that he has to know , to understand , to connect with people and things that the surrounding , to speak , to ask questions , to display views . The upper data give us the opportunity to judge on psychological development , the child's brain development , adapting his age .

In general, birth weight doubles around the 5th month or 6 - to and triples at the end of the first year . Parents also need to know that a child who is born under the normal weight adds weight quickly , while the child was born with great weight usually increases slowly .

The head size is usually estimated by the magnitude of its district otherwise called perimeter . Circle head with tape measure starting from the forehead , above the eyebrows , to the back of the head where part of the head emerged .

Some characteristics of the head of the child .
