Had my sons 9-12 month health review today. He is 9 months + 10 days old and I completed the form they sent me when he was 9 months and 4 days old. The form / appointment can be completed at any point between the child being 9-12 months old. They review the form in the same way for a child that is 9 months old vs 12 months old. I asked if they had a sliding scale they use for evaluations based on the age of the child but no they do them all in the same way. So, bearing in mind, when my child is 12 months old this is in almost 3 months time, i.e. nearly a quarter of his life so far, why do they review everyone's development and questionnaires the same!?!?!? Make it make sense. My son was ranked in the "black" i.e. cause for concern for his gross motor because he isn't standing/pulling to stand and cruising yet. I don't know any babies my sons age i.e. 9 months who are doing this but I know lots who are 10.5-11 months who are so I expect he will be doing this in no time, he is just too young right now. So now they want a follow up check with me on this and I'm just like sorry none of this is fit for purpose?! I debated even going to this review based on some past experiences with HVs that my friends have had in the area but thought I'd give it a go. Safe to say I won't be going to any more!!
