It is important to listen to their concerns and offer support, but it is also important to inform them that check-ups are necessary for preventive health care. Documenting their concerns can also help in addressing any specific issues they may have with the concept of check-ups. Simply requiring them to get a check-up for acceptance into the program may not be enough to convince them of the importance of preventive health care. Option B is not appropriate as it is misleading and incorrect. Option D is also incorrect as check-ups are important for children in this age range to ensure that they are developing appropriately and to detect any potential health issues early on.
