Usually a good way to know how your child will fall is to look at what percentage he has been at so far on the growth chart and follow that line up the chart until you hit 40lbs.

If he continues to grow on the same curve, he will be 40 lbs at 5. I think it totally depends on your child and their growth pattern. My son is a "big" boy in general and is now at just about 4 years 2 months 43" tall and My son was 18 lbs at 1 year old and now, at almost 4, is about lbs.

He was about 32 lbs at his 3 year old check up. If you suspect your child is not growing properly, consult your child's doctor. All rights reserved. Health Library. Preschoolers are still developing and refining their gross motor skills using their arms and legs to move and play , as well as their fine motor skills working on arts and crafts and puzzles.

By this age, kids can usually hop on one foot and are learning to skip. Play becomes increasingly imaginative and is an important part of kids' growth and development now. So it's important to make sure they have time for creative play — alone and with friends — whether that means drawing pictures, playing house, or acting a part. Although kids come in all shapes and sizes, a healthy child should continue to grow at a regular pace.

To monitor physical development, the doctor will weigh and measure your child at regular checkups , then plot the results on a standard growth chart to follow over time and compare with that of other kids the same age and gender. Normal growth — aided by good nutrition, plenty of sleep , and regular exercise — is one of the best overall indicators of a child's good health.
