Parents know who they should go to when their child is sick. But pediatrician visits are just as important for healthy children.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) developed a set of comprehensive health guidelines for well-child care, known as the "periodicity schedule." It is a schedule of screenings and assessments recommended at each well-child visit from infancy through adolescence.
