Hello, I’m Dr. Meherdad Yousuf Ahmed, your child specialist in Dhaka, a doctor who has been helping kids stay healthy for over 10 years. Today, let’s talk about the important things you can do to make sure your child grows up strong and happy.
1. Checking How Fast Your Child Grows:
We keep an eye on how tall and heavy your child is getting. This helps us make sure they’re growing as they should be. Think of it like checking a plant to see if it’s growing big and strong.
2. Giving Shots to Keep Away Sickness:
Shots are like superheroes that protect your child from getting really sick. Just like how you take medicine when you feel bad, these shots help your child stay healthy and play with friends without worrying about getting sick.
3. Checking Eyes and Ears:
We look at your child’s eyes and ears to make sure they can see and hear well. It’s like making sure their eyes are like superhero lasers, and their ears are like superhero hearing aids.
4. Making Sure the Heart and Cholesterol are Happy:
Sometimes, we use a special cuff to give your child’s arm a gentle hug and check their heart. We also look at their cholesterol to make sure everything is okay. It’s like checking if the engine in a car is running smoothly.
5. Eating the Right Foods for Superpower Health:
Food is like the fuel that helps your child’s body run smoothly. We make sure they eat foods that give them lots of energy and keep them strong. It’s like giving them the right kind of snacks for their superhero adventures.
6. Taking Care of Teeth:
We look at your child’s teeth to make sure they’re strong and healthy. It’s like checking if their teeth are like superhero shields, protecting them from bad guys like cavities.
7. Talking About Feelings and Learning:
We talk about how your child is feeling and if they are learning and growing in the right way. It’s like making sure they’re happy and having fun, just like superheroes in their own special way.
8. Balancing Fun with Screen Time:
Sometimes, we talk about how much time your child spends watching TV or playing games on phones or tablets. It’s important to make sure they have time to play outside and do other fun activities. It’s like finding the right balance for a superhero’s training.
