Kolby surprised me again by picking up a raisin and put in his mouth and he chew it before swallowing it.

Why do I feel surprised with his action?

Remember he was once refer to KKH because of his not good motor skill  and fine motor skill and his slow weight gain.

Within a month, he is able to start independently, knowing how to use a pen to scribble and also picking up a raisin and feed himself.

Maybe his weight gain is still not ideal as I don’t monitor his weight and height gain. Other than this, he is doing very well.

I am glad that I trusted my mother instinct and did not bring him to  unnecessary assessment. I understand that the doctor in polyclinic mean well and they have to follow the procedure, but no doubt, it is also adding extra stress to the parents.
I have colleagues who will see from the health booklet what is the age and things that a child can do and practice them with her child in order not to fail the assessment. Of course it is good to teach them new things but if the parent don’t practice it with the child, maybe in the next checkup, the child will be fail and get another referral to kid specialist.
