Middle childhood well-child visits

At Welia Health, we’ll be with you through every important first in your child’s life with annual well-child visits for children ages 5–10 years.

As the parent of a school-aged child, you’ve got a lot to think about. From encouraging healthy eating and exercise to limiting screen time, to helping your child develop a positive self-image and empathy for others, to keeping up with academics and other activities, this can be a very busy and challenging time for your and your family.

Our family medicine team is here to help you as you parent during these middle childhood years. From navigating through puberty to helping your child establish a healthy lifestyle, we’re ready to partner with you each step of the way!

At every well-child visit

Your child’s yearly appointments will provide you with important information about your child’s physical and emotional health. You’ll also be able to ask questions and discuss concerns with the provider. It’s a good idea to keep a written list of any concerns as they arise and bring this with you. In addition, bring your child’s medications with you to his/her appointments.
