    Background: Child psychomotor development is essential for the maturation of children, facilitating the acquisition of motor, cognitive, communicative, and social skills. Children of adolescent mothers may face higher risks of developmental difficulties due to biological, socioeconomic, and emotional factors linked to early motherhood. General Objective: To assess the psychomotor development of children aged 0 to 36 months, children of adolescent mothers who attended the Nicanor Merchán Health Center, using the Battelle Developmental Inventory to identify possible delays in neurodevelopment. Methodology: Quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional research with 26 children aged 0 to 36 months. The Battelle Developmental Inventory was used, and the data were analyzed using SPSS version 2024. Results: The majority of the children showed psychomotor development appropriate for their age (76.9%). However, some exhibited delays in areas such as gross motor skills (15.4%) and communication (7.7%). The study demonstrated that there was no relationship between adolescent pregnancy and the psychomotor development of children aged 0 to 36 months. Conclusion: The majority of the children evaluated showed adequate psychomotor development. However, a small percentage exhibited significant delays in areas such as gross motor skills and communication. A highly significant relationship was observed between maternal age and motor development in the area of gross motor skills, suggesting that maternal age may influence children's motor development.
