Child's well visit, 9 to 11 years: Overview
Child's well visit, 9 to 11 years: Overview
Your child is starting to become independent and getting better at making decisions. Your child probably enjoys time with friends. While your child likes you and still listens to you, they may start to show a lack of respect for adults.
Encourage your child to be active for at least 1 hour each day. Ride bikes, go on walks, or do other activities together.
Set aside special time to spend with your child. And really listen when they talk.
