Kids change at warp speed; a year feels like a decade in childhood development. Your child’s annual well-visit is a 360-degree check-in to be sure growth, learning, and mental health stay on track.
1. Whole-Body Growth & Vital Signs
We measure height, weight, BMI, and blood pressure, then plot them on age-and-sex growth curves. Consistent trends, up or down, tell us the body is thriving. Sudden leaps (growth spurt) or stalls may signal thyroid, nutrition, or hormone issues we can tackle early.
2. Development, Learning & Behavior Screens
From first words to algebra, each age has milestones. We use quick, evidence-based questionnaires for speech, motor skills, attention span, and social interaction. Early detection leads to earlier intervention—speech therapy, OT, or academic supports—that change life trajectories.
3. Preventive Labs & Immunizations
Depending on age, we screen for anemia, lead, high cholesterol, or Type 1 diabetes markers. We review your vaccine log and discuss optional extras like HPV, flu, or updated COVID shots. If you’re traveling abroad or have chronic conditions, we tailor additional protections.
4. Lifestyle & Safety Coaching
- Nutrition: portion sizes, calcium for bone growth, and limiting sugary drinks.
- Screen Time: age-based limits; why devices stay out of bedrooms.
- Injury Prevention: car seats, helmet use, pool safety, and firearm storage.
- Mental Health: bullying signs, social-media pressures, and self-esteem talk.
5. Parent Q&A: No Topic Off-Limits
Is bedtime a battleground? Is TikTok melting their attention span? Bring your list; no question is too small. We’re your partners, not a stopwatch clinic.
Keep growth on track. Schedule your child’s annual well-visit
