I also feel that Berniece develops slower than other kids that I meet. I just asked the doctor at 健康院 & they said she was just a little slower and should not be much delay. Then we have not brought her to any other assessment yet. I am not sure this is correct or not but I discover she improves bit by bit in these months so we rather observe more.
I would like to share that we spoke English with her before 2yrs old. We discovered that she could understand all and pronounce the wordings correctly but she did not like to speak at all. While EE went back to Philipines for holidays, I talked more Chinese with her and suddenly she tried very hard to speak more. This situation was also discovered by her teachers and grandparents. C6 & me think that it was because she observed her parent speaks Chinese amount themselves and suddenly change English to her, maybe she felt she was not part of us. Upon taking reference of Sugar's method, I told my girl to speak English with EE and speak Chinese with us. Although she cannot acurrately do it right all the time, almost 70% she can change channel by herslef. She even remind me that she needs to speak English with EE
In addition, my girl is also stubborn about something like using octopus card to pay fare, pressing the button of the lifts, inputting the pw of entrance etc. She will cry non stop and crazily if someone did "her job"
Anyway, I agree that an assessment is good for Hin Hin and you. At least a professional opinion leads you to the right direction. Add Oil!!!
佢做唔到既, 我唔會俾, 同埋佢要俾媽媽教佢 ----> Berniece won't let us teach her, she has to try it by herself first and ask for help until she knows she is not capable to do so
會自己按lift, (佢只有一個button夠高按), 自己爬上highchair 扣安全帶 ----> same same
Mine is "bun" and 3x with a girl around 10yrs. For me, I will not choose too young with the same reason of Jelly's. In addition, "bun" might not be a good source for kid to learn english as mine's english is not very good. One of my friends' "bun" was a teacher in her country so her english is good, it depends on your luck.
