Many pediatricians check for mental health concerns at well-child visits. The doctor may ask your child questions or ask them to fill out a questionnaire that checks how they’re doing.

They work to make sure that they have the skills they need to succeed in life, and a big part of this is making sure they know how to handle their own emotions and feelings.

A study has found a link between household air pollution and the development of pneumonia in children. Pneumonia is something that is taken very seriously among medical professionals, and that is because it poses a risk to a child’s health and wellbeing.
