PD referred me to psychologist to assess for autism. My son has not gone for formal assessement as the psychologist suggests to wait for a few months more to see his progress. But I started him on weekly speech therapy and one session of occupational therapy nevertheless. Very expensive, one session is $150. Luckily can use CDA account for the time being.

Scrumpee,
Hope ur boy will start to talk soon. Maybe on his bday he might suddenly burst out all the words...miracle sometimes do happen..kekekek...
One more suggestion is to put him to those playgroup or childcare..my friend do this to her boy when her boy also not yet talk after 2yrs old..

Missy is right. I have put my boy in CC since Jan this year. Has shown improvement in his communications although still no speech.
For example, he has started to point to indicate his interest, hold our hands to bring him to the things he wants, dance to songs and takes instructions much better. He only did all these after he went to CC. Before that, he doesn't really indicate his interest and is emotionless when he hears songs. So, that's why we were very worried that he could be autistic.
Very envious of many mar babies who can already speak especially Fiona's Kayle. So clever, can speak Eng and Chinese so well. Oh..and pinkdemoness's boy. Hiaz, while many of you are trying to help your kids excel, here I am, trying to help my boy be normal. So ironical right? What to do...whatever happens, he is still my son and everyday, I am trying to stay positive but negative thoughts keep coming to my mind.

Scrumpee,
Slowly im sure he will grow out of this phase..give him some more time..don give up..i know how u feel..im really sad to read ur last paragraph..
thou he might not speak now but who knows he might burst out everything one day and perform+excel better than any of the march babies, right?

Thanks for encouragment. yes, I am waiting for the day. Two days ago, my boy uttered " mur mur mur". Such a simple sound made us very happy, because this is his first consonant. He doesn't make consonant sound like mur, bo , po, he only make vowels sound like err, eee, ar.

Scrumpee,
the way you describe Eames in CC, I don think he got Autism leh.. i read a bit on the behaviour for Autism as my boy also speak quite late. Autisim child will not look into your eyes, smile back at you when you smile at them, repeat same action over and over again for 1000++ times... I think Eames is playing with his frens in cc right? So no need to worry so much.

Hi mummies ....
No worries ... I totally enjoyed myself too except that was pretty irritated when they kept chasing us to pack up!!! Already feedback that 2hr is too short if they are fussy about the eating area as well.
Scrumpee ...
My fren send her son for assessment when he was abt 3yr ... she oso noticed that he was v slow in speech development n v reserved. Cant socialise with kids of the same age. The assessment was that the son has IQ of over 130 (which is like super bright) BUT social IQ is abt 70 only. Hence there is a 'gap' which requires intervention. However the good news is that with the correct intervention, the gap can be narrowed so you just do your best and leave the rest to god.
re: CC
SH started his 1st full day CC ... cry whenever he is free but when there are activities, he will happily participate. After I left ... he did cry abit but the teachers assured me that he is coping fine.
Lets see tom how heehee

Yiyi, my boy doesn't really play with his friends. A bit reserve and takes time to warm up. But more friendly with adults. Will go hug the teachers at cc and play catching with them.
Seabreeze, so is your fren's son is confirmed autistic? I sent my boy for a session of occupational therapy. His fine motor skills score is below average so we have to work on that.

thanks for the feedback. But your friend's son's IQ is so high, OMG! at least she doesn't need to worry for his academics.I am very tempted to send my son for full assessment but I'm scared to know the truth..what if he really is? And he will be labeled for life. Hiaz, will make a decision on this again 3 months later, depending on his progress.
BTW, my son also like your boy when he started cc. Will cry when he got nothing to do. On and off feeling emo. But he is much better now. Some of the days, he didn't even cry just bian zui. Or will cry a bit when we said goodbye to him but stop after we are out of his sight

Mummies,

Typically autistic children have VERY VERY high IQ but always lacking in some other aspect (very often its the social part). I would think that if you want to put your heart at ease then send him for assessment so that in the event that there are any area that he needs to work on *touch wood*, you can start now with early intervention.
Mangogal ...
The Little O Zone is $22 per pax with discount for NTUC Union member and OCC member. I used my dad's OCC membership to book so $19 this round.
re: CC
SH will make noise when they take his temperature and stuff, otherwise he is ok. My #1 will tell me whether his didi cry or happy hahaha good to have a spy there cos teacher will just tell you 'happy' news. But I think he doesnt nap well there cos he totally KO last night at 9pm.

My boy also hates taking temperature during the first two weeks. Now ok liao, even want to jump queue.
Actually, I already started intervention on him, i.e speech and occupational therapy so the assessment is mainly to either put my heart at ease (if he isn't) or confirm it ( if he is).

yiyi - yr mil wan him to learn to dress up ? lol ! right now they still imitating stage. so yr mil also not wrong in the fighting part... for kirs, when someone screams in the cartoon, she will follow suit ... -_-" i let her watch only playhouse disney channel... and Ai... lol!
yiyi, it's good that your mil will 'filter' off violent scene for Issac. I know about the
Barbie the movie. hehe.. It's about having the courage and persistent in pursuing dreams. I wanted Vera to watch it too but she soon lost interest after the theme song part... haha.
missy, you let Kirs watch Ai too? Vera watches it too. Sigh... no choice, mil worships that show.
Whenever there is fighting scene, if I'm around, I'll tell her they're fighting and it's wrong to fight. I feel that must have some sort of parental guidance somehow. hehe..

Mummies, did u bring ur kids to arcade when go shopping malls? Now my boy will scream excitingly & say "yeah" when he saw arcade from very far and run towards the arcade..though we did not let him play he will still wan to stay inside, run here n there, press here n there and ask us for $$ to put into the kiddy ride and will always cry don wan to leave that place...headache...
<font color="ff0000">re. tv</font>
hee also started letting my little boy watch tv, but mainly are the dvds i bot, barney, bob the builder, thomas the train, etc. he's hooked on youtube though, once he gets my iphone, will go look for videos himself lol. must monitor what he watches. no adult shows though, mostly too violent nowadays...
errh mummies with boys, do you let your boys watch girly cartoons e.g. strawberry shortcake, hello kitty? my boy likes hello kitty very much. undecided whether to let him see if have. sigh, hb said too girly, cannot
<font color="ff0000">jo's mummy</font>, no, not bringing him to arcade. they get hooked really fast and then very hard to bring them out liao. my boy just like the kiddy ride now, but we never put coins for him, so everytime see 1, let him sit insides for a while, then persuade him out. still easier at this point. i think once put coin for him, he sit inside, sure dun want to come out liao!

yes agree! dont put coins! kirs also just climb n sit without coin. hee.
Kiddy ride... i also try to let my tot sit only and sometimes put coin too. But, how do you feel when you kid only sit on the ride and somebody ask you to bring your kid out because their children want to play with coin? I know since we didn't put coin should let other people play but sometimes just don't like their way of "asking"; as if got money must give way. I felt it is just not very nice to ask people to get off. I will wait for awhile or look for another ride. Haiz...
Happy Women's Day!!! to all mummies...
and Happy Birthday to all March babies...
Yesterday we had a small birthday party at my tots playgroup. Although it was just a short event but still spent quite an effort to prepare party gifts, balloons, yakult and cupcakes. Most importantly is everybody enjoyed. But, like that, every year will have to do likewise? HaHaHa...

Idlecat, so far I haven't met any parent who request impolitely to give way for their kids to play. They usually would wait for their turn. I too will ask Vera to wait for her turn or take another kiddy ride. I thot it's a good opportunity to teach our little ones about the rule of "First come first serve". They're sure gonna have a lot of chance to apply this when they grow up..
jo's mummy, when I told Vera mummy don't have money. She replied: "Papa"
We have no problem getting her to sit in the trolley. To her it's another kiddy ride.
st, yes grandparents have no limit. Even when they have run out of coins, they'll make an effort to change..
