The purpose of these well child checkups is to monitor your child throughout the four stages of development: Infancy (birth-11 months); Early Childhood (1-4 years); Middle Childhood (5-10 years); and Adolescence (11-21 years). Regular, well-child visits promote your child's good health and help prevent illness and disease. Each visit is a chance to work with your child’s health care provider as a team, to think about your child and ways to help your child.

Some children’s development may fit neatly into these categories, others will not. Talk with your child's health care provider about your own child’s development.

As health care providers we expect to work with you as a partner to keep your child safe and healthy; Working together to develop trust and easy communication. This takes time and doesn’t usually happen in just one visit. Sharing information - we each have knowledge the other must have to provide the best care for your child.
