5.3.2.9 Anticipatory Guidance
Anticipatory guidance is a federally mandated component of the THSteps medical checkup and includes health education and counseling. Face-to-face health education and counseling with parents or guardians and clients are required to assist parents in understanding what to expect in terms of the client's development and to provide information about the benefits of healthy lifestyles and practices, and accident and disease prevention. Written material also may be given but does not replace face-to-face counseling.
