Children’s checkups
Regular health checkups help monitor your child's development and growth and detect potential health problems early on.
Why does a child need regular health checkups?
Regular health checkups are provided for children to support their health and development.
Pediatricians, family physicians, family nurses, school nurses and medical specialists work together for this purpose. The aim of children's health checkups is to monitor children’s development and to provide the necessary medical care for early detection of health and developmental disorders. The checkups are based on the Child Health Monitoring Guideline (PDF, EST).
Checkups monitor children’s development, growth, weight, hearing, sight and speech. In addition, they help children develop healthy eating and exercise habits and provide advice on all other health issues. To prevent infectious diseases, immunization is provided. With regular checkups they help children develop healthy eating and exercise habits as well as provide advice to the family.

3 years
At the age of three, the child’s weight, height, development, and daily functioning are assessed. For the first time, the child’s visual acuity is tested at the family doctor’s office using an eye chart.
At this age, many independence and self-care skills – such as dressing, eating, and potty training – are becoming established, and speech develops rapidly. The checkup helps evaluate whether the child’s development is age-appropriate and if additional support might be needed. In case of a speech delay or difficulty, the child is referred to a speech therapist.
