How Do Pediatricians Assess Individual Differences?
Pediatricians use a variety of tools and methods to assess individual differences:
Growth charts: These charts help track a childâs physical development over time compared to standardized norms. Developmental screenings: These assessments measure a childâs progress in areas such as motor skills, language, and social interactions. Behavioral assessments: These tools evaluate emotional and behavioral health, helping to identify conditions like ADHD or anxiety. Family history: Understanding the familyâs medical history can provide insights into genetic predispositions and environmental influences.
