Child's well visit, 6 years: Overview
Child's well visit, 6 years: Overview
Your child is probably starting school and new friendships. This will be a big change for them. It's important that your child gets enough sleep and healthy food during this time. By age 6, most children are learning to use words to express themselves.
Help your child unwind after school with some quiet time. Set aside some time to talk about the day. Avoid having too many after-school plans.
Have books and games at home. Let your child see you playing, learning, and reading. Be involved in your child's school.
