Your child's health includes
physical, mental and social well-being. Most parents know the
basics of keeping children healthy, like offering them healthy
foods, making sure they get enough sleep and exercise and
insuring their safety. It is also important for children to get
regular checkups with their health care provider. These visits
are a chance to check your child's development. They are also a
good time to catch or prevent problems.
Other than checkups, school-age children should be seen
for
* Significant weight gain or loss
* Sleep problems or change in behavior
* Fever higher than 102
* Rashes or skin infections
* Frequent sore throats
* Breathing problems
