While many parents have been letting their kids stay up later and enjoy the nice summer evenings, experts say with a couple of weeks to spare before school starting, now is the perfect time to ease them into a more normal sleep schedule.

Many parents schedule their child’s once-a-year physical before the start of each school year. The appointment is a chance to make sure vaccinations are up-to-date and to check on your child’s growth. Beyond that, annual well checks are an essential component of your child’s health and are crucial in maintaining an accurate health history. For many, this might be the only time they visit a physician all year!
