AdventHealth ParentCare Hub
We want our children to be happy and healthy, but raising children can be overwhelming with lots of challenges along the way.
Whether you have a newborn or teenager, parenting is not always easy. At AdventHealth, we understand how important it is to give children the best start in life and how valuable practical, proven and personal answers are to your family’s mental and physical health.
That’s why we’ve introduced AdventHealth ParentCare, a program to help guide you through the parenting journey. AdventHealth ParentCare provides you with our Behavior Checker® tool, classes and access to AdventHealth experts.
Personalized Care When It Matters Most
- Parenting Coaching and Behavior Checker

Raising children can be overwhelming. Whether you are a parent, grandparent, caregiver or educator, we understand how valuable practical, proven and personal solutions are to struggles familiar to all parents, such as: sitting at the snack table, getting along with their peers, cleaning up their rooms, limiting screen time, being kind at home, school and on the soccer team and a number of other scenarios. That's why Behavior Checker is here to help.
All healthy children do these things, sometimes many times a day! Everyone says, “I wish I had a Behavior Checker when I was raising my child!” Now you can be glad that it’s right here at your fingertips! Click the link below to learn more.
