Artificial Intelligence (AI), including tools like ChatGPT or AI-enhanced Google searches, can be useful for finding quick answers online. But when it comes to your child’s health and growth, it’s important to know how to use these tools safely and wisely.
The Child Growth Foundation have created a new infographic with tips to help you get accurate, reliable information and to help avoid risks.
We have detailed information on growth conditions on our website, here: childgrowthfoundation.org/conditions

The CGF has produced a simple Growth Monitoring Guide that explains when babies, children and young people are usually measured, and which measurements are taken.
This updated guide demonstrates what parents and carers can expect in terms of the frequency and type of growth monitoring completed throughout childhood, including routine measurements taken by healthcare professionals, based on national guidelines. Often additional measurements are required, and we have included additional measurements that the CGF recommends should be taken and at what age.
If you have questions or concerns about your child’s growth please speak to a healthcare professional, or contact our Support Line:

We have launched a dedicated mental health and emotional wellbeing page for the child growth community.
The new page, created with valued input from a Clinical Psychologist, is designed to support your own mental health and wellbeing, along with the mental health and wellbeing of your child/young person.
The page features information about mental health, tips to look after emotional wellbeing, and signposting to expert organisations and charities providing support, including specialist mental health support for children and young people.Â
The page also features our infographic ‘Top tips; mental health and wellbeing – from parents, for parents’ which features tips and suggestions shared with us by parents and carers for others in the child growth community.
We could receive a £5,000 donation with your help through the Movement for Good Children & Young People Special Draw.Â
It only takes a minute or two and could make a huge difference to our charity.Â
