Well-child visits are the foundation of your child’s health. These scheduled checkups — recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics — happen frequently in the first two years of life and annually after that. They’re not just for when your child is sick; they’re your dedicated time to discuss growth, development, nutrition, behavior, school performance, and anything else on your mind.

At each visit, your provider will:

• Measure height, weight, and head circumference (for infants)
• Review developmental milestones appropriate for your child’s age
• Update immunizations and review your child’s vaccine schedule
• Screen for vision, hearing, and developmental concerns
• Discuss sleep, nutrition, safety, and any behavioral questions you have
• Give you time to ask questions — we recommend writing down your top three before you arrive

Well-child visits are typically covered by insurance at no cost to you as part of preventive care benefits. Call us at 770-253-0170 to schedule or to find out when your child’s next visit is due.

When your child is sick, getting them seen quickly matters. We reserve time in our schedule every day for same-day sick appointments, so you’re not stuck waiting days for an opening or heading to a general urgent care that doesn’t specialize in children.

Call us at 770-253-0170 first thing in the morning to request a same-day appointment. Our in-house lab allows us to test for flu, strep, RSV, and other common illnesses right here in the office — so you’ll have results and a treatment plan before you leave.

If your child becomes sick after our office closes, our After Hours by Children’s Clinic location in Fayetteville is available evenings and weekends. No appointment necessary.

Children’s mental and behavioral health is just as important as their physical health. Our providers are experienced in identifying and supporting children with behavioral difficulties, including ADHD, anxiety, and developmental concerns. We work closely with families to develop a care plan, coordinate with schools when appropriate, and connect you with specialists when needed.

If you’re concerned about your child’s behavior, attention, mood, or development, bring it up at your next appointment. You know your child best — and we want to hear your observations.

Supporting a child with ADHD at home often starts with structure, consistency, and patience. Children with ADHD may benefit from predictable routines, clear instructions, visual reminders, and tasks broken into smaller steps. Parents can also help by creating a quiet homework or focus area, offering short breaks, praising small wins, and using calm, direct communication.

It is also important to remember that ADHD is not caused by laziness or poor parenting. ADHD can affect focus, impulse control, emotional regulation, and follow-through. When strategies at home are not enough, or when behavior begins to interfere with school, relationships, safety, or family life, families should speak with their child’s pediatrician for additional guidance.

For questions about ADHD support, behavior concerns, or your child’s development, contact Children’s Clinic at 770-253-0170 to schedule an appointment.
