School’s Out…Time for a Pediatric Wellness Exam

Pediatric wellness exams are an important part of your child’s healthcare. Far beyond just checking height and weight, these regular visits are designed to monitor your child’s development, catch potential issues early and support your child’s overall well-being as they grow. Whether you have a toddler or a teen, routine pediatric wellness exams set the foundation for a healthy future.

Each wellness visit is tailored to your child’s age and development, but generally includes:

• A physical exam from head to toe to assess growth, vital signs, reflexes and organ health.
• Developmental screenings to track milestones in gross and fine motor skills, language development and social development.
• Vision and hearing tests to provide early intervention if necessary.
• Immunizations to protect against preventable disease.
• Nutritional and behavioral guidance including topics like sleep, diet, screen time, academic performance, peer relationships and physical activity.
• Mental health screening to support emotional wellness in older children and adolescents.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends wellness visits at key ages throughout childhood from infancy to age 21. If you’re due or overdue for a pediatric wellness checkup, now is the best time to schedule! Pediatric wellness exams aren’t just a check of a box; they’re essential! They help your child thrive, support you as a parent and create a proactive plan for long-term health.
