Yolk: Based on Ally's speech therapy, blowing is important in her context cos it allows the therapist to see if she's making the correct shape with her mouth when she blows. From the shape of her mouth, they can tell when she speaks what sort of problems we might have. If you think about it, when we blow something, our mouths are round like an O, but some kids blow with flatter lips and if noticed early, can be corrected.
Another useful thing about blowing is it strengthens the tongue and this helps with sounds made at the back of the mouth, ie K, G, NG sounds.
In therapy sometimes we use a mirror and blow at it so that they can see the warmth of their breath, some of the older kids use bubbles to help with their blowing. Ally has yet to master blowing, you can see that her brain understands what you want her to do but she can't physically do the action. Its a work in progress

Jill: Thanks for the info! Really interesting. This may seem like a bit of a radical suggestion but how about encouraging Ally to blow out a candle? That will make it all a bit less abstract and since our kids tend to be quite task-oriented, that might work for her. Ems loves to blow out tea-lights at restaurants. We were at a Thai place last weekend and the waiter handed over the candle-lighter to us after a while as he was too tired to keep relighting the candle. But it kept Ems in her seat and let her practise her blowing (which might explain, based on what you and cheok have said, why she can suddenly say "mama"?)
Jillian thanks for the insight! Im soo going to take that activity seriously now...
yolk what a great idea! Get them to blow a candle is one way to train them to blow. Shayne is pretty clueless when i yell 'BLOW BLOW BLOW!!!'...im going to get him blow a candle..
shymz ya lor, the teachers been giving 3 piece puzzles during class. Im like...'HUH'?? But my friend's april boy can do it lei..and without ANY assistance...

jillian,cheok,
thanks for the info about blowing. going to try harder, want to hear that mama soon (currently she only calls mama when she's crying and wants something badly) so far she enjoys blowing at small pieces of tissue and watching them flutter... going to try candles
cheok,
eh, so far I've not done 3-pc puzzles in class... but i doubt C can do it.

BLOWING
Hmm so the pple at Shichida do really know what they are teaching la? And there I was rolling my eyes whenever the blowing exercise come about!
Renee can blow now..and started doing it about 2 weeks ago. And just for fun, she will call "ma Ma" AND at the same time, use her lips to form bubble with her saliva. She think its really fun and gets a kick out of watching our reaction...so all thanks to Shichida then?!

Hi Cheok,
My july boy can blow and we just did the 3 pcs puzzle twice and he can do it the 2nd time.
My boy also can say :
star, square, orange, truck , tree, with the correct pronunciation.
One amazing tihing is he can count by saying 1-10 now.
All these you got to practice every day 5 mins with him. He is only 16 mths now.

Hi Amber
I think your girl may be having roseola (fake measles), commonly associated with high fever hovering around 39 and above lasting up to 1 week. No amount of ice pad or cold water can bring the fever lower than 39.
My girl got it 1-2 mths back and I was really at my wits end with 4 days of overnite ice pad, etc.. Finally by Day 5, I rushed her to KK A&E as her fever went up to 40.1 (faintz). On day 6, her fever went down abruptly to low 38 and followed 37 after her KK visit (though medication prescribed same as 24hrs clinic) and we see rashes all over her body.
Signs and Symptoms
A child with roseola typically develops a mild upper respiratory illness, followed by a high fever (often over 103° Fahrenheit, or 39.5° Celsius) for up to a week. During this time, the child may appear fussy or irritable and may have a decreased appetite and swollen lymph nodes (glands) in the neck.
The high fever often ends abruptly, and at about the same time a pinkish-red flat or raised rash appears on the child's trunk and spreads over the body. The rash's spots blanch (turn white) when you touch them, and individual spots may have a lighter "halo" around them. The rash usually spreads to the neck, face, arms, and legs.
Duration
The fever of roseola lasts from 3 to 7 days, followed by a rash lasting from hours to a few days.

Elfy,
thank you so much for tht!
ive heard of Roseola, in fact bcube's bub had it too..
i dont know why, silly me, i never thought abt it..
you cld be absolutely right!
how do they get it and why?
today seems to be better.. but only whn i give her nurofen! calpol doesnt seem to work much!
i shld just sit it out and wait i guess..
if she still has it another day, we're seeing her PD.
but there's no stopping roseola right? has to work its course?

cheok, eliz,
did the 3 pc puzzle last week in class... C seemed to get the idea that we were supposed to piece them together, but didn't know how to fit them nicely. think i'm going to get 2 piece puzzles (saw them at toys r us) to let her try first.
oh, and she can finally blow now (i was so pleased the teacher was quite amused). but no mama yet
july_baby,
hey, don't worry. mine's not speaking much either
all of them develop differently. as long as they are meeting milestones, i think it's ok. i'm still constantly surprised by C each day...
yolk,
you do your own flashcards right? can I check if there's any particular website that's good? i'm finally starting on mine... checked with the teacher the other day, she recommended flashing about 20 sets per day (200 cards done in 3 mins)

Baby talk, babbling alot since birth and everyone thought he will speak early but did not. But luckily he can understand alot of basic stuff in daily life and his body parts etc. so i am ok with him. Just wait till he gets older then communicate with me. hee... Just be patient.

Hi Amber,
Quite a few babies here, including Krissa, already kena Roseola. Like what Elfy has shared, there's no cure for it and there's pretty nothing much u can do except to help bring Ash's temperature down wif plenty of sponging and to feed her wif the fever medicine prescribed by her PD. I remembered Krissa crying when she saw me wif the towel, even before the sponging begins!! Like u, I had a shock when my thermometer showed 40 degree Celsius. The funny thing is, when u start to see the rashes popping out, the fever should have subsided. Nothing to worry about the rashes(no pus), it'll go off by itself after a few days. Krissa had the fever for about 5 days, then the rashes appeared then disappeared after 2 days.
Of course, pls do bring Ash to her PD should u fail to bring her temperature down. Kiddos' fever really no joke.

Shymz: Toys R Us have the 2pcs puzzle? Will go buy, want me to help u buy? Can put at Bishan if u want. Lemme know ya. Like C, she seemed to know what she has to do wif the puzzle pcs but cant quite fit them in. Guess we'll juz have to go thru the works wif them a few more times. Krissa still refuses to blow at the LNT materials. At home, she would be blowing her recorder and whistle though.
july_baby: ya, patience is the word. Me oso waiting for my girl's golden mouth to open
Eliz: Dun blame urself la. Nobody is born to know everything. Krissa oso can't piece the puzzle ma, likewise for many kiddos here. Our task is to assist and guide them along. Me going Toys R Us to buy the puzzles. U want me to help u buy? Can pass it to u when I go collect the HK biscuits from u. Lemme know.

I have done quite a bit of research then. There's no known cause for Roseola, it's basically a form of viral illness, most commonly affecting those between 6 mths and 2yrs. In fact KK didn't diagnose my girl with Roseola (I "diagnosed" her with that given all the tell tale signs). KK merely dismissed her as having viral fever after her blood and urine test turned out ok (cos back then was early stage of Roseola with some angry rashes).
Anyway, I suspect it got to do with the MMR injection since someone in this thread vaguely mentioned that MMR is basically the injection of 3 viruses to get our todd's body at the same time.
Bingo, just surfed the web briefly, it's indeed one of the possible side effects of MMR. I hope I won't put off some mummy who's about to go for MMR. By exposing our todd to 3 viruses at the same time may be too much for some, hence the side effects. There were also discussion whether we should even space out the injection (then again, it means yr todd will need additional injection and may affect a small %).
Since your girl still having high fever, you need to continue to sponge her to bring her temp down (no joke have burning hot fever above 39.5). Best to see your GP/PD if her fever did subsidize, then she may need to go for blood test and urine test to rule out other possibility.
Once the rashes start to appear, I merely applied some calamine lotion spread thinly over my girl's body - since she's too traumatised to see another doctor after her trips to 24hrs clinic and KK A&E (diagnose, blood test, urine test,etc).
Sorry for the long post, that's why I tend to "lurk" and not post.
MMR Side effects http://hcd2.bupa.co.uk/fact_sheets/html/mmr.html
*********************
"The three viruses in the vaccine act at different times and may produce side-effects as they start to work.
The measles part starts to work six to 10 days after immunisation. Your child may have a fever, develop a measles-like rash and go off their food.
About one in every 1,000 immunised children may have a fit caused by the fever. This is called a febrile convulsion. However, the rate of febrile convulsions caused by measles is much higher - one in every 200 children who gets the disease.
It's rare, but your child may get mild, mumps-like symptoms (fever and swollen glands) about three weeks after immunisation as the mumps part starts to work.
Children may get a rash of small bruise-like spots in the first six weeks after the vaccination, but this is also very rare. This can be caused by the measles or rubella parts of the vaccine. Take your child to your GP to be checked if you see spots like this.
Fewer than one child in a million develops encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) after the MMR vaccine. However, if a child who hasn't been vaccinated catches measles, the chance is higher - between one in 200 and one in 5,000.
Side-effects of the vaccine are usually mild and, most importantly, they are milder than the potentially serious consequences of having measles, mumps or rubella".

Hi mummies,
I apologies if being too proud of my child makes you feel upset. I was just too happy and only forum can share instead of telling everyone.
I just wanted to share the experience and let you know that daily 5 mins practices and play really works. You need determination and patient.
Honestly, there is nothing to boost of these development. As most importantly is we can teach our child well and grow up to be a person of good character and uses his great mind to help people. This the main idea of brain training your child.
Hi July_baby,
You are a humble person. Shymz is right as not to worry about the development. You will see surprises by your child. If you talk frequently with him, he will pick up.
Tips: say to him everything you see on the road when you go out with him like trees,cars..
Watch with him together on "Baby , you can read" and repeat the items together.
Most importantly, praise him and give him a big hug if he can do.
Although my child can say alot words but he still unable to call "mummy". He only starts walking recently as well.
Hi Eliz,
You can get the puzzle from popular or hand made by printing a simple picture and paste on card board.

shymz/eliz, toysrus has those wooden 2 pc puzzles with a small peg. think on promo now - buy 2 get 1 free. 1 puzzle cost 6.95 or something like that. promo still on last sunday when i went, so u might wanna go check it out cos its a steal!
tinsel, did krissa enjoy the babies prom? xy enjoyed the sections when the symphony played cos she got up and jigged ard, but was terribly bored in between (frankly, so was i!!)
stopboasting, think u cld have made ur point in a more polite manner. minus all the middle finger thingies definitely.
having said that, just noticed that recently, our thread has been more about sharing our tods accomplishments, rather than sharing and chatting in general? it did cross my mind that by all these posts wld make mummies with tods who are less developed verbally/etc feel bad? not sure if anyone also is of that opinion, and NOT saying it's a bad thing either. apologise if i have inadvertently offended anybody by saying this.
cheok, i think u are doing a GREAT job with shayne. even tho shayne is not talking much, from what i saw of him during that short play date at fidgets, he is really a very cheerful and responsive child! love his grin
if i havent said this b4, i think SAHMs are definitely the most wei da pp ard, having to juggle housework, plus trying to fit in teaching/preparation of materials.
shannon, i did take a bit of offence at ur post, mainly because u seemed to insinuate that cheok did not spend 5 min a day teaching her boy and inferred that a child is a slow speaker or cannot piece puzzles because the parents did not teach enough (if i was oversensitive, and that was not what you mean, pls accept my apology in advance) that is completely not true as each child develops at his or her own pace. early verbal development has also not been proven to reflect higher intelligence later in life. yolksac was a late speaker, and god knows, she's tonnes smarter than all of us here
oh btw, i'm not saying the above because i am a case of sour grapes (definitely not - xy's milestones are progressing way ahead of what is expected and what I expect, but i see no point in listing what she can or cannot do here). I just feel very strongly about this. again, NO OFFENCE MEANT and i hope this does not start a flaming war on this already quite thread.

Thanks for offering and de-offering. Hahaha.. Just kidding. No offense huh.
You and me same same, buy and buy, then forgot what we bought!!
No hurry on collection, just sms when u wanna come over.
<font color="0000ff">Jules</font>
Thanks for sharing. I shall rush to toysrus during lunch!
No offense taken at all. I too found this sharing can be abit sad for mummies when their tots aren't "to par" so to speak.
For me, i'm a lazy mummy. No 15mins spent on "teaching" everyday but i'll try and spend time with megan.
Playing is also good for the kid.
I think when comes to parenting, we all have our own sets of thots and methods.
I have a good friend who's a teacher and she just want her kid to play!
She says he can learn when he's ready and the rest of his life to learn.
He does not need to be a leader, just have a happy childhood.

hey mommies
just for the record, to this day wairah does not know how to jump.. she can only tip-toe and jerk her body up in attempt to jump. so as someone mentioned, their development varies and some kiddos have better motor skills, some are more developed verbally while others take their time and probably surprise us with their hidden talent later. Nonetheless, as parents, i'm very sure we find our kids special in their own ways.
my apologies as well if my update on my girl's development has kinda offend anyone. I guess the point here is not to say that "my child is better than yours or that my child is progressing better than so-and-so's son/d'ter."
we're just excited and happy to share, not to put down others.
all good aight?
