Connie,
Pneumococal has become a COMPULSORY jab. Hep A is optional.
kiki,
According to my PD, MOH has pushed forward the chicken pox boaster jab to 3 years old. So if you opt for chicken pox, this is another jab before primary 1.
potbelly,
Wah, then you continue to puree till when?? I personally think it's not the right way to let her eat veg this way. My gal doesn't like veg much also, she is only okay with brocolli, the rest don't like, she is a meat eater. Slowly lah, try again and again.
Joopz,
It's too early to label your kid as "not a food person". If you think that way, you might not have the motivation to make him to become a food person. Don't think that way. Show him and tell him how nice to taste different type of food, and that eating sufficiently will keep him healthy. Just keep trying, don't give up! Like potbelly said, 3 tablespoons of rice is quite a lot liao loh, my gal also eats about that amount, even my boy who is already 3.5yo only eat about maybe 4-5 tablespoons of rice plus lots of "liao" lah.
kaira / kiki / Mayya,
From my #1 peers right, there were 2 boys who were late speakers, they only to start talking after 2.5 yo, and only after 3yo they talk a lot and very soon catch up with the peers, no problem at all. It is true that girls usually speak earlier than boys, but still I don't think you should worry as long as she can say a few simple words.
I have a nephew who doesn't speak, don't even call baba and mama, and he is already 4.5 yo now. But his case is different. Since young, he not only didn't talk, he didn't have eye contact with anyone, and didn't like to play with others. My brother and SIL thought he is just a late speaker and ignored the problem till only recently brought him to see speech specialist. Luckily he is not diagnosed as autism, but has delay learning ability. He is now going to the speech speacialist once a week, have improvement but progress is slow.
Look at the child as a whole. If he/she is generally happy, willing to make contact with other, can take instruction well, has a gentle temper, no problem in socialising etc, think he/she is just not ready to speak. Bear in mind that there is something we can't force them to. As parents, we can only try our best to provide the right environment for them. Talk and read to them more, like at least 1 hour of reading per day, cut down on TV/iphone/iPAD. But of course, if you think a visit to the specialist would help, yes, please go ahead, but please make sure the assessment is a gentle one and won't give him/her any stress. Children do get stress up and that's really not a good thing.
My boy only say papa. But he can understand what we tell him, just don't want to open his golden mouth to speak yet .I Will be bringing him next week to polyclinic to get referral to Kk specialist. But many pple tell me it's quite common for boy to start speaking slow.
I think she has such tantrums because she is unable to communicate her wants and gets extremely frustrated. But what can i do to help her? She's not sociable and hardly plays with other kids when in a playgroup setting. But she plays with her sister just fine though. *phew*
