Preschool Health Check-up and Children's Readiness for Education
Experts emphasize the importance of having children's vision, hearing, and general health check-ups completed before the new education period.
Dr. Özgül Özbek, a Pediatric Health and Diseases Specialist at Medline Adana Hospital, emphasized the importance of completing children's general health checks, vision and hearing examinations, vaccinations, and psychological preparations in the preschool period.
General Health and Comprehensive Evaluation
Comprehensive health checks conducted prior to preschool help ensure potential issues are noticed early, enabling children to start the new academic year both physically and psychologically healthy.
Vision Health and Concentration on Lessons
Good vision health is necessary for children to follow the board and concentrate on lessons. Symptoms such as frequent blinking and difficulty seeing the board necessitate an eye examination.
Hearing Loss and Academic Success
Hearing health is of critical importance for understanding what the teacher explains and participating in in-class communication. Children who have had recurrent ear infections need to be evaluated from a hearing perspective.
Psychological Preparation and Adaptation Process
Separation anxiety may be observed in children starting school for the first time. It is of great importance for families to communicate positively and realistically about school and to establish daily sleep and nutrition routines early.
