Kids Vitality Health Check

Dr Liane Randeree understands that your child’s health and well-being are your top priorities, and making sure they grow strong and healthy is a significant aspect of that. That is why, at our practice, we offer a Kid’s Vitality Health Check to help you monitor and support your child’s health throughout their development.

What is the Kid’s Vitality Health Check?

The Kid’s Vitality Health Check is a comprehensive health assessment designed to monitor the well-being of children aged between two and 18 years old. This check-up focuses on critical areas of your child’s health, including their physical growth, vital signs, and health behaviours, providing you with a clear picture of their overall health status.

What does the Kid’s Vitality Health Check include?

The Kid’s Vitality Health Check consists of several important assessments:

• Body Mass Index (BMI) Measurement: This is a simple but essential measure of your child’s body composition, giving insight into whether their weight is appropriate for their height and age.
• Blood Pressure Measurement: Regular monitoring of your child’s blood pressure can help detect potential issues early, ensuring prompt intervention if necessary.
• Health Behaviour and Developmental Questionnaire: This assesses your child’s health habits and developmental milestones, providing a broader view of their overall well-being.

Dr Liane understands that each child is unique, so she tailors the Vitality Health Check to meet your child's specific needs. During the check-up, we will guide you through each assessment, discuss any areas of concern, and answer any questions you may have.

After the assessment, you’ll also receive a personalised feedback report that provides detailed insights into your child’s health and recommendations for further care or lifestyle adjustments.

Why is the Kid’s Vitality Health Check important?

Regular health checks like the Kid’s Vitality Health Check are crucial for tracking your little one’s growth and development over time. By monitoring key health indicators, Dr Liane can identify any areas of concern early and address them promptly, helping your child maintain a healthy and active lifestyle.

How often should my child have a Kid’s Vitality Health Check?

For optimal health monitoring, it’s recommended that your child undergoes this health check annually. This allows for continuous tracking of their growth and development, ensuring they stay on a healthy path throughout their childhood and teenage years.
