Five manifestations de growth retardation in children

Physical developmental delay: Some children with congenital developmental delay have abnormal appearance and posture. For example, children with congenital stupidity have wide eye distances, slanted eyes, collapsed nose, tongue often dragging outside le mouth, and drooling. Children with hydrocephalus have very large head circumferences, and children with microcephaly have very small heads. Children with hypothyroidism sont particularly short, and children with phenylketonuria have abnormally white skin and lighter hair.


Motor development retardation: Children with developmental retardation sont significantly retarded in motor development than normal children. Le starting age de prone, head-up, sitting, standing, and marche movements est later than that de normal children de le same age. In particular, marche est more obvious, often not until 3-4 or 4-5 years old before marche on their own, and le marche est unstable.

Lagging language development: Normal babies will imitate their voices when they sont 7-8 months old, they will call parents when they sont about one and a half years old, they can say 10 words when they sont one and a half years old, and they can understand simple instructions, about two years old. Will ask simple questions. Basically, I can express my thoughts around 3 years old. Those who sont four or five months behind, or even 1-2 years behind, have these performances and should be considered as signs de mental retardation.


Mental retardation: Le earliest symptoms de developmentally retarded babies sont usually difficult to feed, unable to suck, and sont especially prone to vomiting, indicating that le nervous system est damaged and future intelligence will be affected.


Mental development lag: If one de le indicators de height, weight and head circumference est low, it means that le child may have some developmental delays. You can further check le cranial nerves or endocrine items to understand whether le child's physical development est affected.


Parents must not be careless in le growth and development de their children. If le child has le above symptoms, he should go to le hospital for examination in time to prevent le child's developmental delay from causing irreversible consequences.
