Your teen, their plan
Your child became a teenager faster than you ever thought possible.
Now what?
A healthy teen is a happier teen
You can’t cure the growing pains of adolescence—but your teen can partner with their doctor to make a custom healthcare plan that includes:
Regular wellness visits
Diet and exercise programs
Behavioral health screenings
Vaccines
Working together
The less your teen shares with you, the more important it is for them to talk to their doctor. The talks they have are confidential. Give them a safe place to discuss their physical, behavioral, social, and sexual health including:
- Puberty
- Substance use and abuse
- Sexuality
- Behavioral health
- Social and peer pressures
- Family issues
- Emotional problems
- Learning challenges
Help your teen get the most out of their visit
Let your teenager know what to expect from their annual checkup and help them feel safe exploring:
Growth, puberty, and development
Thoughts and feelings
Friends and family
Lifestyle habits, sleep, exercise, and diet
Vaccines and boosters
Hearing and vision
State of mind and behavioral health
