These well child visits are typically designed to address your concerns and review the progress of your child’s growth. Your well child visit will include:

Your child’s well care visits are a great way to help prevent serious diseases, as well as assess your child’s age-appropriate body mass index. Childhood obesity is on the rise, and has become the major cause for a number of serious health issues. Your well child visit will ensure that your child is growing within the healthy percentile range for their age. Discussions regarding a healthy lifestyle and a healthy diet as your child grows can help set them on a healthy lifestyle track to prevent diseases such as diabetes.

Recent studies have shown that many children do not see their physician regularly, and in fact, most do not follow the recommended well child visit schedule. Parents need to understand the importance of these visits. They are the cornerstone to early detection of serious health issues, important for preventive care, and can help maximize your child’s overall health and wellness.
