Several efforts have been made to improve child health indicators; however, despite 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, and diseases related to poor living conditions, making it essential to reorganize health actions for this audience, based on comprehensive care. The aim is to build an action plan to implement collective monitoring of child growth and development. This is a descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, developed through action research, in the light of Thiollent's proposal. The study was developed with the professionals of the Family Health Strategy, working in the Family Health Unit Maria Fausta de Medeiros Dantas, located in the city of São José do Seridó/RN, totaling 13 subjects. The construction of the action plan was carried out collectively, based on the conversations in four seminars. The data was collected through audio recording and analyzed using the ATLAS.ti® web software, originating four categories of analysis: a) What we think; b) How we do it and what we want; c) Potentialities of the collective follow up of children's growth and development; d) Difficulties to implement the collective follow up of growth and development. In general, the narratives point to the importance of carrying out collective activities and developing work with groups. On the other hand, it is evident the lack of knowledge about integrality, teamwork, and monitoring of child growth, in addition to a fragmented and excessively specialized care, pointing to the need for continuing education. As a technical product, an action plan was developed for the implementation of collective growth and development monitoring for children from 0 to 6 months of age. From the reflections arising from this study, it is expected to contribute to the effectiveness of comprehensive health care for children and expand the teaching-learning process, breaking with the fragmentation and excessive specificity of knowledge, thus ensuring adequate growth and development for this age group.Acesso AbertoAtenção integral a saúde da criançaCrescimento e desenvolvimentoAtenção primária à saúdemasterThesis
