Every parent has a lot of questions about their child’s health and what they can do as their guardian to protect them. A well-child visit is a perfect time to ask these questions, although it can be easy to forget them at the moment. That is why it is imperative to write down any questions you have to ensure you do not miss out on the information you need. Before the well-child visit, write down 3 to 5 questions you have using a pen and paper or a smartphone. The questions may be about:

– A health condition your child has (like allergies, asthma, or developmental problems)
– Changes in behavior or mood
– Problems in school — with learning or other children

Other important questions to ask may include:

– Is my child up to date on vaccines?
– What can I do to make sure my child is adequately physically active?
– How can I help my child eat healthily?
– Is my child at a healthy weight?
– What can I do to help my child prevent getting sick?

Using a notepad, smartphone, or tablet, write down all of the answers to these questions, so you can review them later.

A recommendation by The US Department of Health and Human Services states that each child should receive at least 7 well-child visits between the ages of 1 and 4 at the following intervals:

– 12 months
– 15 months
– 18 months
– 24 months
– 30 months
– 3 years
– 4 years

After four years of age, it is recommended that children visit the pediatrician for an annual check-up unless they require care to manage an ongoing condition.
