<DONATED> blue $50

hi insider,


thanks for sharing.
yes, totally agree that med should be handled by adults as kids might mis-use it and result in serious consequences.

managed to talk to his teacher yesterday and apparently form was there but she had thought that it was meant for another student. she was apologetic for the mistake made.

calling office to remind teacher about the medication might not work as there are times that no one is there to pick up the phone. moreover, ds1 classroom is separated from the office/main classrooms.

for me, think will slowly train ds1 to handle his own med just in case one day he needs to take it himself and it will be easy to guide him over the phone if necessary. there were many times that when he had prolonged fever, we couldn't leave him with my mum cos she has no confidence on the medication part due to her poor eyesight. hence, if ds1 is able to do it, things will be easier then.

Cannot blame the teacher

oso, cos she's just doing her job. But she
cud call you to get you to fax a copy asap
during the usual meds feeding time. She
can also get the administrator or the ctr
manager to ring you in the event that she
may be tied up with the children under her
care.

ya, think the teachers are very stressful also with first new HFMD case in the school after being cleared of it for just 2 weeks with 10 over children infected (ds2 was one of them).
thanks for the assurance, will start to train ds1 on getting his own med. and also considering to talk to his teacher about the incident. just afraid of being label \"problematic parent\" as teacher is a senior staff and quite difficult at times.

thanks again, jedamum!

hoping he doesn't get any fever or else with his bad cough and running nose, he will be the next H1N1 suspect if we have to see a doctor.

hi jedamum,

congrats for winning the kiasu auction! :congrats:
yes, ds1 is a reliable and sensible boy.
have thought of putting the right amount into small bottles to avoid spillage, not so worry about overdose cos 1 spoon = 5ml which is what he is required to take and he understands more is not allowed for med and vitamin.
thanks for the brilliant idea of putting a sweet together, think he will sure remember to take the med.

I am still very upset now as ds1 teacher did not feed him medicine in the afternoon and he was coughing non-stop when I reached home. Got to give him his inhaler and singular pill to relieve his coughing.


Teacher told him because mummy did not submit the consent form which I did on Monday and it was the same teacher who had given me the form. :stupid: I am mad also because teacher did not even bother to verify with his form-teacher or simply call and check with me. :x

I am thinking if I can't trust the teacher to feed ds1 medicine, I might as well train him to take his own medicine. I had ever taught him how to use his inhaler and think he manage well.

Ds1 is 6yo, do you think it is advisable to let him take his medicine in school himself? It is usually after lunch and just one spoon each of the medicine.

Anyone can share when do you start letting your child takes his/her own medicine?

kiasu_pig,


thanks for the update hope the new DVDs are as good as the previous ones.

jedamum,


think our ds1 and ds2 characters are quite alike.

my ds1 is pretty too (like mummy ) but a bit girl like flower boy. very sensible, clingy and sensitive in term of feelings and also to those supernatural stuff. :!: used to hide behind me if there are other people in the same lift, cry alot and also scare of being alone in a room, even if it is during the day. :roll:

ds2 is very tough boy, will not cry unless it is really painful. very active and mischievous, doesn't take instructions easily. Now at 3.5yo, he still can't pronoun alot of words clearly, I do suspect the problem lies with his tongue which is not very long but very broad. a ex-colleague had to send his son for a minor tongue operation before he can speak clearly. so I hope ds2 can pronoun better with the help of phonics sessions.

RRMummy, for your verification and do inform us on your findings.


ds1 - pre-term bb born at 35 weeks but in the mth of Feb. Learning progress in term of crawling, walking, talking and academic learning are fast.

ds2 - full term bb born at 38 weeks but in the mth of Nov, has a gor gor and a bigger head too but… disappointing to say that everything is so much slower.
