Abstract
While these ten pitfalls cover a wide array of common problems encountered in growth monitoring activities which we have seen throughout the world, there are undoubtedly other answers and approaches to improving growth and development of children. Careful attention to the overall goals and clear objectives of GM/P would, we believe, lead most workers to reject the present activities classified as ‘growth monitoring’ and recognize that it is unrealistic to expect their present organization and activity to bring about major changes in nutritional status or health of children in a given community. We do believe that with careful attention to the basic principles underlying the promotion of healthy growth in children, as a preventive home based and community activity, that growth monitoring and promotion programs can play a vital role in assuring optimal health, nutrition and well being of the children, even in the most deprived community.
