Nothing provides greater peace of mind than the assurance that your child is thriving and in good health. At Thrive Pediatrics, we believe that consistent well-child visits are the cornerstone of a child’s long-term health. These visits allow us to track our child’s growth and development while addressing any health concerns early. As a parent, you want to ensure your child is thriving physically, emotionally, and socially, and regular child wellness visits provides the perfect opportunity to monitor their progress. Our approach emphasizes preventive care and proactive guidance for families in Bellevue and the surrounding community.
Why Are Child Well Visits Important?
✔ Monitor physical growth, emotional well-being, and social development
✔ Build a trusted, long-term relationship with your provider
✔ Prevent health issues through early detection and timely interventions
✔ Provide personalized support based on your child’s unique needs
✔ Empower parents with trusted resources and health education
Recommended Child Well Visit Schedule (AAP Guidelines)
We follow the schedule recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP):
✔ Newborn Stage: 1–3 days post-hospital discharge
✔ Infancy: 2 weeks, then at 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months
✔ Toddler & Preschool: 15, 18, 24, and 30 months
✔ School Age to Teen Years: Annually through adolescence
Regular wellness visits for children ensure your child stays on track developmentally and medically.
What to Expect During a Child Wellness Visit
Wellness visits for child health go far beyond a quick physical exam. Our comprehensive visits include:
✔ Monitor physical growth, emotional well-being, and social development
✔ Build a trusted, long-term relationship with your provider
✔ Prevent health issues through early detection and timely interventions
✔ Provide personalized support based on your child’s unique needs
✔ Empower parents with trusted resources and health education
The Value of Preventive Pediatric Care
Preventive care is one of the most valuable aspects of pediatric healthcare. Many serious health conditions, such as obesity, asthma, and developmental disorders, can be mitigated or prevented when identified early during child wellness visits. Moreover, our providers take the time to answer your questions, offer resources, and work with you to create a personalized plan that supports your child’s unique needs.
Vaccinations: Essential Protection for Your Child
Vaccinations are another key part of well-child visits. Following the CDC schedule, we ensure that your child is protected against life-threatening diseases, including:
✔ Measles
✔ Mumps
✔ Polio
✔ And more
If you have concerns about vaccines, our team will walk you through them with compassion and evidence-based guidance.
A Family-Centered Approach to Child Wellness
At Thrive Pediatrics, we view these visits as a partnership. Your child’s physical health is essential, but so is their emotional and social well-being. From tracking motor skills to discussing behavioral challenges, our wellness visits for children cover the full spectrum of your child’s development. This holistic approach fosters a supportive environment where families feel heard and valued.
