CHILD GROWTH FOUNDATION The Child Growth Foundation is the charity that cares throughout life for
the children who do not grow or grow too much and is also the umbrella
organisation for the following support groups. - GROWTH HORMONE INSUFFICIENCY.
- TURNERS SYNDROME.
- IUGR.
- RUSSEL SILVER.
- BONE DYSPLASIA.
- SOTOS.
- PSM.
Among other things, the Child Growth Foundation helps to publicise and
promote a wide understanding of the consequences of the extremes of height.
Children who fail to grow or grow too much - and even those who are naturally
very tall or short - may suffer socially and psychologically as well as
medically. Members also have the chance to share their cares with others
through a nationwide network, receive regular information and obtain free entry
to the foundations conventions. If a parent is concerned about any children who may be taller or shorter
than they should be, then send an A4 Stamped Addressed Envelope to the
foundation. A growth assessment chart will be sent on which you can check if
the child's growth is normal or not. If it is not then information on what to
do next is available.
