Summary of "10 Steps to Successful Growth Assessment and Counselling"

This document outlines a ten-step process recommended by WHO for conducting effective growth assessments and counselling for children, as of 2015.

1. Build Rapport: Show genuine interest by making eye contact, smiling, and directly addressing the child to build trust and involve the caregiver.
2. Observe Interaction: Watch how the child and caregiver interact to gather initial information.
3. Explain Purpose: Clearly communicate the need for assessment and explain why their help is necessary for correct procedures.
4. Visualize Progress: Plot measurements on a chart and show this to the mother, explaining how the child's growth is tracking.
5. Positive Reinforcement: Compliment the mother for positive caregiving behaviors she is demonstrating.
6. Collaborative Conversation: Engage the parent fully when discussing possible causes of poor growth.
7. Empathetic Listening: Listen empathetically to the caregiver and encourage them to contribute potential solutions.
8. Collaborate on Solutions: Work together with the caregiver to define feasible measurements or actions for improvement.
9. Keep Recommendations Actionable: Limit advice and practical recommendations to only 2 or 3 key actions for better care and feeding.
10. Confirm Understanding and Set Goal: Ask clarifying questions to ensure the mother understands the recommendations and set a general goal for the child's next visit for continued improved growth.

The steps emphasize building trust, involving parents empathetically, focusing on actionable advice, and ensuring follow-up, thereby promoting healthy child growth and development.
