Taking Your Child to your Pediatrician

At the nine to ten year checkup, you can expect:

• An examination of your child's growth and development.
• A review of diet and sleep schedules
• Measurement of his height, weight and blood pressure.
• Counseling for injury prevention, dental health, and a proper diet.
• A review of school performance.
• Immunizations: Varivax booster (if your child hasn't had chickenpox), HepB and HepA series - if not already given.

• Screening test: vision and hearing test.

The next check up with your pediatrician will be when your child is eleven to twelve years old.
