A BIRTHDAY MESSAGE FOR YOU AND YOUR CHILD
Happy Birthday!
Birthdays are special and important times. They are important times to pause and remember the amazing moment your child was born and the first few days of her life. You will remember steps and stages in her life so far. They are also important times to enjoy who she has become and dream together of who she will be. Of course, birthdays should be special days that celebrate the unique and wonderful person your child is. Have fun and enjoy sharing the memories, dreams, and celebrations.
Birthdays are also times to think about protecting your child’s health by scheduling a well-check visit. Doing this allows you and your child to maintain a close relationship with your pediatrician. At this visit we will check your child’s growth, development, and immunizations. Check the "My health manager" tab on kp.org for more detailed information about your child's health and medical care. To make the most of your well-check visit, please remember the following:
Kaiser Permanente has a range of services and online information to support you and your family. Check out your doctor's home page for healthy living resources and online programs to help you both thrive in the next year together. We hope that this newsletter continues to help you along the journey as your child gets older.
“Birthdays in my house growing up were definitely special occasions. You got to be king or queen for the day - from the moment you woke up to the moment you went to sleep that night. It really was a celebration of my being born and of me being the person that I am. I think that is what birthdays should be about.”
Andrea Rudominer, MD, Pediatrics, Kaiser Permanente San Jose
