Questions Your Child's Doctor Will Ask
-December 6, 2010-Comments (0)
In the December 2010 issue of ParentLife, our 1- to 2-year Growth Spurts article was about healthy development. Here are the basic questions you are likely to be asked at your child's well-child visits to the doctor during this time.
18-Month Checkup
- What are your child's eating habits?
- How is your child sleeping?
- Is your child walking?
- Does your child say "no"?
- Is your child saying at least six words, such as mama and dada?
- Does your child respond to simple commands?
- Is there anything unusual about the way your child looks at things?
2-Year Checkup
- Is your child physically active?
- What new words is your child learning?
- Is your child showing readiness for toilet training?
BabyCenter has printable worksheets for the 18-month and 2-year checkups, if you want to prepare answers in advance as well as record any questions you might have for the pediatrician so you don't forget!
