ABSTRACT
The care of the newborn must be individualized, taking into account their vulnerability and exposure factors, both biological and psychological, in their family and cultural environment. The main objective of monitoring should always be to promote the maximum development of each child's potential, reducing their burden of illness and disability, through a multidisciplinary and inter-institutional approach. Periodic evaluation by the pediatrician and/or first contact doctor is essential in the general monitoring of high-risk children, the early identification of deviations and the appearance of alarm data, timely referral and continuity of treatments prescribed by specialty services. Monitoring should not only be directed at aspects of neurological development, aspects related to the programming of chronic diseases must also be considered. Work on prevention measures: prenatal care, promote periodic monitoring of healthy and sick children, as well as education programs and family-centered care.REFERENCES
