Annual Physical

Overview

Proactive Health Monitoring for Your Child

Scheduling your kid for an annual physical test not only keeps them on top of their health but also addresses their issues early. Moreover, the better doctor gets familiar with the condition of your kid, the quicker they can address when something goes wrong.

Understanding the Importance of Annual Physicals for Your Kids

Physicals are important to stay in good health, especially for kids, as they let both parents and kids assess development and growth. Moreover, parents can get guidance on raising their kids healthily and safely. In fact, your kids need to undergo physicals every year, even if they look healthy. This is because kids go through several changes over a year, both physically and mentally.

How to Prepare Your Kid for a Physical?

Tell your kid about what is going to happen at the physical in a friendly way. For example, you can tell them that they will be measured for weight and height as well as vision and hearing. Explain the benefits of such checkups for their health. Also, tell them you will be there with them for the exam. Clear their doubts if they have any about the physical. For example, they might be worried about getting vaccines.
