Is my child considered a ‘toddler to teen’?

Prior to their first birthday, your child is considered an infant. After that, they fall into our category of toddlers to teens. Your teen is considered an adult by different health authorities at different ages and by differing growth markers. We categorize adults as those who are 18 years of age and older.
