Growth Awareness Resources

ICOSEP hopes to build a series of videos to encourage a serious understanding about the importance of monitoring children’s growth. We are asking for help from families, member organizations and medical professionals from around the world. See our currently available video’s on YouTube.

Please consider making a BRIEF video of your child being measured by the experts. If you can help us, make certain that the person who is doing the measuring is aware that you are recording and agrees to be filmed. Make certain he/she knows that you will only include their arms or feet etc. We require that NO FACES (other than the child’s) appear in the video. You could show the medical professional setting their feet close to the measuring device and then up to their head. You can take the video from the side of their body instead of facing forward. But again, NO FACE other than the child’s can be in the video. (Sorry- strict legal issues.) We really appreciate your assistance because parents need to know how important the height measurement data is to their health!

Email your video with your signed permission form (click to open and print) to contactus@icosep.org . Please add the subject, “Videos to encourage.” We will not use any video without a signed authorization to protect the children! Thank you so much! Together we can make a difference!!!
