Whatever name you use—check-up, well-child visit, or health supervision visit—these are important.

The benefits of well-child visits include tracking your child’s growth and development. Your pediatrician will review your child’s growth since the last visit and talk with you about your child’s development. These visits are a time to review and discuss each of the important areas of your child’s development, including physical, cognitive, emotional, and social development. Pediatricians often use a resource called Bright Futures to assess and guide discussions with parents about child development. Parents can access Bright Futures to review information relevant to their child’s age using the website at the bottom of this page.

无论您使用什么名字（体检，探亲访视或健康监护访视），这些都很重要。

探访孩子的好处包括追踪孩子的成长和发育。您的儿科医生将检查您的孩子自上次访问以来的成长情况，并与您讨论孩子的成长情况。这些访问是时候回顾和讨论孩子发育的每个重要方面，包括身体，认知，情感和社会发展。儿科医生经常使用一种称为“光明的未来”的资源来评估和指导与父母有关儿童发育的讨论。父母可以使用此页面底部的网站，访问光明期货，以查看与孩子年龄相关的信息。
