    1. The child's physical development is delayed, and the height and weight are obviously much behind the children of the same age, and the lag is generally more than 2 standard deviations;

    2. Large motor development, normal children can raise their heads at 3 months, will sit at 6 months, crawl when they are 1 month, and walk at the age of 1, and children with stunted growth, large motor development is significantly delayed than children of the same month, may be able to raise their heads at 6 months, just sit firmly at 15-16 months, and can not walk completely upright at 15-16 months;

    3. It can be manifested as delayed language development, for example, when the child is 15-16 months old, he can only say father, mother, or can only pronounce a single sound, and some children may not be able to say a phrase or express their wishes when they are 2-3 years old;

    4. Abnormal psychological and social development, unable to interact normally with children of the same age, and unable to express their wishes.

    If the child is found to have the above clinical symptoms, you need to take the child to the hospital in time to find out whether there is developmental delay. If stunting is present, prompt intervention is required**.

    This phenomenon is different for different stunting, such as growth retardation, which is generally 20% lower than the average height and weight of a normal child of the same age. At this time, the child's growth may be slowed down due to some congenital factors or some acquired feeding factors, and different reasons may cause the height and weight to be seriously unattained.

    There are also some children who are mentally retarded, that is, they develop later than children of the same age during the intelligence test, which is manifested in the inability to speak when they should be able to speak, the ability to express language fluently may not be able to express language fluently, and the inability to communicate with others in a friendly and good manner, which may be an abnormality in intellectual development.

    There is also an abnormality in motor development, which is also a delay in motor development, such as a child's gross motor retardation, there should be a movement to raise his head at one month, there may be a turn over in about three months, he can sit at about six months, and the child can have a walking action at about one year old.
