At this exam, the health care provider will check the child's growth and development in order to find or prevent problems. The provider will record your child's height, weight, and other important information. Hearing, vision, and other screening tests will be part of some visits. Even if your child is healthy, well-child visits are a good time to focus on your child's wellness. Talking about ways to improve care and prevent problems helps keep your child healthy.

Childhood is a time of rapid growth and change. Children have more well-child visits when they are younger. This is because development is faster during these years.

• 18 months

• 2 years
