More about Dr. Garima Mengi

What we will cover

  1. What a growth chart actually plots

    Where the lines come from, and what they are measuring.

  2. What a percentile means

    Why the 15th centile is not a grade, and why the 90th is not a prize.

  3. Reading a chart together

    We plot a few real patterns and talk through each one.

  4. Crossing centile lines

    When it is expected, and when we would look more closely.

  5. Height, weight and head circumference

    Why we track three things and not one.

  6. The patterns we want to see early

    What brings a child in sooner, and what that visit involves.

  7. Your questions, answered live

    Bring a chart if you have one.

Who it is for

  • Parents who have been told their child is small
  • Parents comparing siblings or cousins
  • Anyone handed a chart with no explanation
  • Parents of children on the edges of the chart
