Bright Futures: Guidelines for Health Supervision of Infants, Children, and AdolescentsNational Center for Education in Maternal and Child Health, Georgetown University, 2002 - Child welfare - 338 pages The guidelines present a detailed framework for health professionals, in partnership with families, to promote the developmental health and well-being of children from birth to young adulthood. For each of the 29 recommended health visits (newborn through 21), the guidelines provide key health questions, developmental observations or milestones, scheduled immunizations and screening procedures, and specific guidance for families on anticipated changes their child will experience in the approaching stage of development. Appendices cover the spectrum of screening and developmental concerns ranging from hearing to hypertension, from measurement of growth and body-mass-index to the stages of sexual development. |
