STEP 1:
Fix the chart to a wall
80cm above the floor.
•
You can also fix the growth chart to a door
or a large cupboard.
•
You can use the growth chart to measure
80 cm from the floor. Just place the bottom
of the chart on the floor, flat against the
wall and mark on the wall where it shows
160 cm on the chart.
•
The mark you have made will show you
where the bottom of the chart should be
when it is on the wall.
•
Once the chart is fixed to the wall check
that the bottom of the chart is in line with
the mark you made to confirm that the chart
is 80 cm from the floor.

STEP 2:
Ask your child to stand up straight against
the wall in front of the growth chart.
STEP 3:
Place the long edge of a book* upright and
flat against the wall so that it lightly
touches the top of your child’s head.
Place the spine of
a book upright and
flat against the
wall above your
child’s head.
Eyes looking
straight ahead.
Make sure your
child’s shoulder
blades and bottom
are touching the
wall.
Lower the
book down
the wall
slowly until it
lightly
touches your
child’s head.
*Instead of a
book you could
use the side of a
cereal packet
placed upright
and flat against
the wall.
Draw a line
here on the
chart where
the bottom of
the book
touches your
child’s head.
STEP 4:
Mark on the chart at the bottom of the book
while it is touching your child’s head.
