A description of the psychology consultation of healthy children called puericulture is made. 177 patients from the Area III Polyclinic, in Cienfuegos, are studied. Their psychomotor development is evaluated through parameters established by different researchists. These patients were followed-up with treatment. Besides the diagnosis and treatment, other concomitant symptoms that were detected are also taken into account. As part of the results, it is observed how systematic the evaluation of the spychomotor development allows to have a more accurate diagnosis, and to know the most adequate conduct to be followed, as well as the incidence of genetic factors, inadequate family characteristics and low educational level on those infants with retarded psychomotor development.
