6 Years

PHYSICAL HEALTH
Doctor Visits. A 6-year-old check-up is recommended for all children, not just for those who are required to for entry into kindergarten. At the doctor's visit, your pediatrician can find out about your child's physical, social, and learning accomplishments over the past year. At a typical well-child visit, the pediatrician will do a physical exam and record height and weight measurements, as well as checking urine, blood, and blood pressure.

Immunizations. If your child did not receive her 4- to 6-year-old shots at her 4- or 5-year check-ups, then you should prepare her for them at this one. You should also be sure to have your health care provider give you a record of these (and all of your child's previous) shots, if you haven't already.

Dental Care. Regular dental checkups are in order, both to teach good home care and to detect early dental problems. You might want to consider taking your child to a pediatric dentist who has two years of additional training in child behavior and dental health, or someone who is accustomed to caring for children.
