Perspectives
Spencer reflects on the inability of paediatricians to agree on a unifying description of failure to thrive. (pp 95–6)
Wright and Weaver discuss the factors – particularly growth – which inform parental perception of good health. (pp 98–100)
Hughes reflects on four "failure to thrive" papers in this issue which emphasise a divergence of understanding what the term means, and how to describe it. (pp 97–8)
