Vaccinations are offered at the same visit when they are due, so there is one appointment rather than two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nervous children are welcome<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many children are anxious about doctors, and that is fine. Bring a favourite toy, tell us beforehand if something in particular worries them, and we will take it slowly. A child who leaves with a sticker and a good memory is more important to us than a check-up finished in record time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When the routine check-ups happen, what Dr. Saleh looks at, and why nobody minds a nervous child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":133,"featured_media":14,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[7,6],"class_list":["post-13","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-childrens-health","tag-check-ups","tag-children"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/colorlibhub.com\/docmed-blocks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/colorlibhub.com\/docmed-blocks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/colorlibhub.com\/docmed-blocks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colorlibhub.com\/docmed-blocks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/133"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colorlibhub.com\/docmed-blocks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/colorlibhub.com\/docmed-blocks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colorlibhub.com\/docmed-blocks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/colorlibhub.com\/docmed-blocks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colorlibhub.com\/docmed-blocks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/colorlibhub.com\/docmed-blocks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
