Thanks for your reply!HelloHad our 2 year check up last year (September time I think), she gave us the option of phone call or zoom due to covid, I took the phone call cause I knew my littlun would be too distracted by the zoom call
They give you a pamphlet thing to fill out ahead of time and then basically just discuss the answers with you.
I’m not keen on HV’s either but it was a pretty pleasant easy experience over the phone
It’s over the phone!Hi, is this over the phone or in person? We got sent through a questionnaire and I just ran through it with my 2 year old to see his strengths and weaknesses (like a tick list). Some of the questions are really whacky. Usually they’re looking for anything majorly lacking but if they’re pretty much doing half or most of each section then they aren’t generally concerned. They also go through teeth, toiletting and other bits that I can’t remember. We are very lucky though because our HV since we’ve moved has been absolutely lovely but understandably some can be a bit mean. I always find the 1 year old one one worse tbh xx
Thanks for your reply!Had ours the other day and it was pretty straight forward, went over the forms. Not sure if they are all the same?
it was a lot about their skills and language.
I understand you haven’t had a great experience, neither did I in the newborn stage, however it all went fine,
i had one minor concern which HV was really good about and sent me links and stuff afterwards.
most want to help you, so they wouldn’t be thinking you’re a bad mum so don’t let that stop you discussing any concerns you have.
hope it all goes well
they will send you a letter, my daughter was 2 in the summer but we only had ours this week.My son was 2 in December we haven’t had anything yet or any contact should I chase the health visitors? I assumed it was due to lockdown
I think it can depend on area? My daughter didn't get a 1 year check last summer due to covid and the re-deployment of HVs to other services.My son was 2 in December we haven’t had anything yet or any contact should I chase the health visitors? I assumed it was due to lockdown
Thank youthey will send you a letter, my daughter was 2 in the summer but we only had ours this week.
I assume due to covid things have fallen behind.
Mine was 2 in Dec too! They just rang today.My son was 2 in December we haven’t had anything yet or any contact should I chase the health visitors? I assumed it was due to lockdown
Thank you! They have sent the questionnaire through so I’m ready to go through it over the next week!We had ours last month, face to face though. My daughter was 27 months.
Basically a check on speech and language, fine and gross motor skills, eating/sleeping habits (I lie about sleep habits. We are happy with our situation without a HV sticking their oar in), talk of potty training.
HV also checked with me that we had her registered at the dentist, asked about using any pre-pre schools (we don’t/won’t) and if I had any concerns.
