What does the kindergarten physical examination check?

Some regular kindergartens will conduct a comprehensive physical examination for children at the beginning of each school year to ensure the health of children. This can also timely discover some problems of children and play a good effect on timely treatment. However, this kind of physical examination is easy to cause misunderstandings among parents. In fact, as long as we help everyone understand the items and advantages of the examination, we can effectively reduce the degree of misunderstanding. Let's take a look at what the kindergarten physical examination checks?

First, check the whole body: including basic items such as general condition, nervous system, body surface, superficial lymph nodes, head, facial features, limbs, heart and lungs, chest, back and abdomen.

Second, check growth and development, such as height, weight, chest circumference, etc.

Third, check other aspects, such as vision, color, hearing, sense, etc.

Fourth, conduct laboratory tests, including blood tests for liver function, chest X-rays, etc.

Fifth, check the medical history: family genetic diseases, previous medical records and social history (such as parents' occupations, water sources and sanitation conditions in the place of residence, and whether there are epidemics, etc.).

Sixth, methods to comfort children during physical examinations.

Tell your child in advance that having blood drawn will be a little painful so that he or she can be mentally prepared. Don’t lie to your child that having blood drawn doesn’t hurt. Otherwise, when the blood is drawn, the child will find out that the parents have lied to him or her. The pain and the feeling of deception combined will often make the child cry incessantly. When the baby cries loudly, especially the young baby, he may wet his pants, so it is recommended that parents bring an extra pair of pants in case of emergency. Before having a blood test, try to keep your child away from crying babies, which will help your child calm down. If there are brave babies around, parents can use them as examples to encourage their own children.
