Any HVs on here? I have a couple of questions about my son’s development questionnaire

Even if you’re not a HV, feel free to give your input.

My son is almost 9.5 months and have been completing the ASQ but have a couple of questions as I don’t want to complete it wrong.

So the questionnaire says:

1) Does your baby follow one simple command, such as “Come here,” “Give it to me,” or “Put it back,” without your using gestures?

If I ask my son to ‘give it to mummy’ and hold out my hand he’ll most of the time comply and actually drops the object. Sometimes he doesn’t, but not because he doesn’t understand but because he’s not done with it. I’m not sure if the fact that I hold my hand out means I can’t mark it off?

2) While holding onto furniture, does your baby lower himself with control (without falling or flopping down)?

My LO will let go of the furniture with one hand and kind of squat down to lower himself. He doesn’t do this all the way to the floor and does kind of flop when he’s almost down. Would this count as completing the objective or not?

3) Does your baby pass a toy back and forth from one hand to the other?

My son still shows NO interest in doing this. I’ve tried to model it but he won’t copy the action. Any ideas of how I could encourage it further?

4) When holding a toy in his hand, does your baby bang it against another toy on the table?

My son does this but sometimes misses the toy or just hits the corner of it. Again, should I count this?

Thanks 😊
