Well-Child Exams: A Smart Start to the School Year

Well-child exams (often called back-to-school physicals) are important annual check-ins that help ensure your child is growing and developing as expected. But they’re more than just a quick sports clearance or a vaccination update—they’re a comprehensive look at your child’s overall health.

Here’s why they matter:

• Track growth & development.
• Stay up-to-date on vaccines.
• Address emotional & behavioral health.
• Build a trusted relationship with your provider.
• Get parent support with nutrition, sleep, screen time, puberty, or school performance.

Well-child exams are a proactive step in keeping your child healthy—physically, mentally, and emotionally—so they can thrive in school and beyond.
