Growth Failure (Failure to Thrive)
Failure to Thrive

Parents sometimes bring their young children to the pediatrics clinic and complain, “My child eats well, eats an egg every day, drinks a glass of milk, eats plenty of meat, takes vitamins every day without fail, but I don’t know why he or she isn’t growing well!” They then ask for a detailed examination to determine the cause.
Other parents sometimes ask, “My child is always pale, listless, and listless. Please examine him or her closely to see if he or she has anemia or parasites.” Such a child’s height and weight are measured, a thorough examination from head to toe is performed, and appropriate tests, including a complete blood count (CBC) and stool test, are performed. The child is often assessed as healthy and growing normally, with no anemia, normal blood, urine, and stool test results, and no parasite eggs or adult worms in the stool.
Then, the parents are shown the child’s weight and height on a growth chart, along with the weight and height percentiles. The parents are shown that the child’s weight follows the weight percentile, and the height follows the height percentile, at a normal rate. By providing a thorough explanation of the child’s growth, the parents understand and are reassured that their child is growing normally.
[Parents Should Be Half Doctors Too – Encyclopedia of Pediatric and Family Nursing] – Volume 14, Pediatric and Adolescent Endocrine, Genetic, Chromosome, Metabolism, and Rare Diseases. Furthermore, parents often feel more reassured when their child is told that their child will continue to grow at a similar rate to their previous growth, and that their estimated weight and height at age 18 will be similar.
In rare cases, a young child may not gain weight normally and experience overall growth and developmental delays due to a diet that is not suitable for their constitution, preventing them from receiving sufficient nutrients and calories. However, this phenomenon is now rare due to regular health checkups.
Some illnesses can prevent weight gain for their age. Sometimes, growth can be abnormally delayed or even stopped.
If a child’s weight gain is not commensurate with their natural growth rate or growth appears to have stalled, a physical examination and appropriate clinical testing using blood, urine, and stool samples may be necessary to determine the cause. Parents often believe their young children are growing appropriately until they bring them to the pediatrician for regular checkups. However, sometimes, during a routine checkup, they are first diagnosed with inadequate growth and development.
Sometimes, for some reason, their height and weight growth rates are abnormally slow compared to their peers, but others are congenitally very small due to inadequate growth. This can give the appearance of stunted growth.
In short, when a child’s weight or height growth rate is significantly slower than that of other children of the same age and gender, it is defined as stunted growth, growth retardation, failure to thrive, or growth disorder (see [Parents Should Be Half-Doctors Too – Pediatric Family Nursing Encyclopedia] – Volume 14: Pediatric Endocrine, Genetic, Chromosome, Metabolic, and Rare Diseases – Short Children).
■ Causes of Growth Stunting
1. External Causes of Growth Stunting
When a child is poor and cannot eat enough food.
When a child primarily eats foods with little nutritional value or eats less than the amount needed for growth and development for a long period of time.
When a child eats foods or artificial nutrition that are not suitable for the child’s constitution.
When a child does not eat artificial nutrition as recommended.
When a child eats artificial nutrition with far fewer calories than the recommended calorie intake.
When a child eats foods that contain no protein for a long period of time.
When a child eats foods that are insufficient in vitamins.
When a child is allowed to eat freely regardless of whether or not he or she eats.
When a child eats a balanced diet.
When a child consumes excessive amounts of vitamin A and vitamin D.
Children with endocrine disorders such as hypothyroidism, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, hypoovarian failure, hypotesticular failure, hypoadrenocorticism, or diabetes.
Severe congenital heart defects. Children with underlying medical conditions or acquired heart disease
Children with severe bronchial asthma, bronchiectasis, or other severe respiratory conditions
Children with cartilage or tibia abnormalities, or rickets
Children with milk protein allergy or lactose intolerance
Children with prolonged diarrhea due to inflammatory bowel disease
Children with parasitic infections such as giardiasis
Children with celiac disease (gluten enteritis) caused by gluten proteins found in foods such as barley, wheat, rye, and oats
Children with prolonged diarrhea due to other types of food intolerance or food allergy
Children with chronic anemia or other blood diseases
Children with malnutrition due to chronic infections of the lungs, kidneys, bones, or other organs
Children with central nervous system diseases such as hydrocephalus (hydrocephalus), brain tumors, or cerebral hemorrhage
Children with chronic urinary tract infections, kidney disease, or kidney or urinary tract diseases
Children with liver diseases such as acute or chronic hepatitis
Pathological gastroesophageal reflux disease Due to reflux disease, due to posterior urethral valve disease, and other.
2. Internal Causes of Growth Failure
Children born to parents with a naturally short physique usually grow slowly and are underdeveloped.
Children with chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome and Turner syndrome
■ Diagnosis and Treatment of Growth Failure (Growth Failure, Growth Failure, Growth Disturbance)
As previously explained, there are many reasons why a child may not gain weight at an appropriate rate.
Sometimes, a clear cause cannot be identified.
If a child is not gaining weight appropriately and growth failure is suspected, detailed information such as past and present medical history, family history, and dietary patterns are collected, and a thorough examination is performed. Urine and stool tests, blood tests, and chest X-rays are performed as needed.
If a child’s health checkup is normal and the child is generally healthy, and the cause of growth failure is unknown, follow-up examinations are performed periodically, and follow-up clinical tests may be repeated. Sometimes, the cause can be identified by observing whether the child’s weight and height continue to increase appropriately along the weight and height percentiles on the growth chart.
Just as biological parents and siblings grow according to their natural constitution, children who eat well, play well, and grow well, with a balanced overall body structure and a small stature, do not require special testing or treatment.
If a child is abnormally underweight or has significant growth retardation, hospitalization may be necessary for diagnosis, clinical testing, observation, and treatment.
During hospitalization, nurses and doctors will observe the child’s daily activities, including food intake, parent-child relationships, interactions between the child and nurses and doctors, and sleep patterns. These observations can be repeated multiple times and, if necessary, repeated clinical tests to identify the cause.
Once the cause of growth retardation is identified, treatment is administered accordingly.

I think it has been more than a century since we needed a parenting information bible in Korean that contains health promotion information that can be easily accessed and read by anyone, anywhere, anytime, to promote health, which is one of the basic necessities of life for Korean men, women, and children in Korea and around the world.
If you have the time, I would like to give the entire Parenting Bible to every Korean family.
If I have time, I would love to read the entire Parenting Bible aloud to all my beloved Korean parents.
Of course, there may be some shortcomings. I am confident that if you refer to other parenting bibles while raising your children, they will undoubtedly grow up happily.
