In Brazil, the universal right to health was constitutionally guaranteed in 1988 with the creation of the Unified Health System. However, despite the advances and investment in public policies aimed at this population and the significant reduction in infant mortality rates, other diseases have been gaining ground in this scenario, such as the prevalence of childhood obesity, preventable deaths from external causes such as accidents and violence, and diseases related to poor living conditions, making it essential to reorganize health actions for this audience, based on comprehensive care. he objective is to propose the implementation of collective growth and development monitoring from a multidisciplinary perspective in a Family Health StrategyThis is a descriptive study, of qualitative approach, to be developed in the modality of participatory action research, in the light of Thiollent's proposal. The study site will be the Family Health Unit Maria Fausta de Medeiros Dantas, located in the city of São José do Seridó/RN. The construction of the implementation project will be carried out from seminars with conversations and thematic workshops. The data will be collected during the conversations and workshops through audio recording of the speeches of the participating professionals, which will later be transcribed in full, using a word processor (Microsoft Office Word® ), and then the document will be transferred to the ATLAS.ti® software to assist in the analysis process. As a result of this study, the intention is to elaborate a project for the implementation of collective growth and development monitoring with children from 0 to 6 months of age. It is expected that the proposed strategy will promote improvements in access to the service, as well as in the quality of care provided to children, mothers and caregivers. Regarding the professionals involved, it is expected to expand the teaching-learning process, from the perspective of collaborative interprofessional work, breaking with the excessive fragmentation and specificity of knowledge and the promotion of comprehensive care to child health and thus ensuring adequate growth and development for this age group
