Difficulties that paediatricians find when evaluating psychomotor development at an early age result in the possibility that, at the school stage, seemingly healthy children can conceal development disorders, thereby complicating their detection, even within their own family environment. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of developmental disorders in children without a prior diagnosis and the consistency between family perception and the real state of development. 187 pupils (51.3% boys) with an average age of 4.3 years (DT = 1.2) took part in the study. The real state of psychomotor development was evaluated using the Battelle-2 Inventory, while family perception was assessed using the Age and Stages Questionnaires. Results revealed an average prevalence of 10% for impaired developmental, while 13.3% displayed delayed motor development. Regarding family perception, families attributed the above-average performance to their children in all aspects. Therefore, the level of correlation between family perception and real development was light in all the dimensions analysed. The results of this study emphasize the excessive number of children with developmental disorders that have gone undetected, as well as the limitations of evaluation tools for parents when used for children with no apparent risk.

表面健康儿童的精神运动发育障碍和家庭评估的考虑

儿科医生在早期评估精神运动发育时发现的困难导致可能在学校阶段看似健康的儿童可能隐藏发育障碍，从而使他们的发现变得复杂，即使在他们自己的家庭环境中也是如此。本研究旨在评估未经事先诊断的儿童发育障碍的患病率，以及家庭观念与真实发育状态之间的一致性。平均年龄为 4.3 岁 (DT = 1.2) 的 187 名学生（51.3% 男孩）参加了这项研究。使用 Battelle-2 量表评估精神运动发展的真实状态，而使用年龄和阶段问卷评估家庭感知。结果显示，发育受损的平均患病率为 10%，而 13.3% 显示运动发育迟缓。在家庭认知方面，家庭将各方面的表现都归功于子女。因此，在所有分析的维度中，家庭感知与实际发展之间的相关性水平都很低。这项研究的结果强调了未被发现的发育障碍儿童数量过多，以及父母评估工具在用于没有明显风险的儿童时的局限性。
