Methodology: quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional; population: adolescent mothers with premature children hospitalized in neonatology; data collection through validated form. Results: 62 adolescent mothers were studied; ages 13 to 19 years, mean 17±1.6; 73% late adolescents.

According to age group, ideas about walking ability were adequate in 18% of early adolescents and 46% of late adolescents. The ability to run did not show important differences between the early and late ones. About sphincter control, 29% of early adolescents had adequate expectations and 33% in late ones. In fine motor development, 45% of the mothers had adequate expectations, without showing significant differences according to maternal age groups. In the ability to stack cubes, 35% of early adolescents had ideas appropriate to the calendar and it was 29% of late adolescents.
