Well-baby visits and annual checkups
Body:
It's important to take your child to all regularly scheduled well-baby visits and annual appointments throughout childhood. These visits are an opportunity for the doctor to take height measurements, note delays in expected growth and identify other problems in physical development.
The doctor may ask questions such as:
- What concerns do you have about your child's growth or development?
- How well does your child eat?
- Has your child begun to show signs of puberty?
- Is your child experiencing any learning difficulties at school?
- How does your child do in peer-to-peer interactions or social situations?
