2 year check?

[goosey]

My son's got his on Friday.
Does anyone remember what the health visitor checks for? What tasks do they expect your child to do?
Thanks,

We had ours 2 weeks ago. It was very low key and the HV asked me questions rather than 'test' DD. Things I was asked about were:

language
sight and hearing
walking (including at what age did she start)
social skills
eating
sleeping
immunisations - if up to date, etc

HV also weighed DD. Would have liked her to measure her too but that wasn't done.

HV then chatted a bit to DD about various things - I guess to listen to language skills.

Not much more other than that.

Oh and told that there is no 3 year check - just a questionnaire that'll be sent out.

Thanks Hulababy. It's been 10yrs since my last child was 2 and I seem to remember he had to do lots more testy stuff.I'm sure things have changed a lot in 10yrs and low-key sounds a much better approach.

Do you have your red book>? There is a page at front on the 18-24 month notes bit. Questions for you to complete - yes/no type. Will get you thinking of what to ask of you have any queries

dd had her 18 month check last week. The hv asked her to do various things ie pile blocks up, where's your nose, put the plastic doggy on the chair etc. Dd just stared at her and walked off and didn't do anything she asked! She then weighed her and measured her and that was about it. She was more interested as to whether I had concerns rather than dd doing any tasks, good job really.

We have 18m checks here - I was sent a questionnaire to fill in and the HV only wasnted to see DS1 if she thought there was a problem (I filled in that he was very good at everything )
But...my SIL took her DD for a 2 year check and she was given a score for each thing - language, eating etc and even potty training (failed that one, obviously) How to make a Mum feel bad - especially since my B and SIL adopted their daughter and she'd only been living with them for 6 months!
