Project : Eating On her own
Project Start Date : Late Feb 2010/ March beginning 2010
Status : In progress
% Completion: 80%
Implementation :
Sits on the dining table itself and eats with her hands. Success rate is good so far. 90% of food goes in.
Post Implementation Steps:
1) A bath again ensures cleanliness
2) A mini bath for the care taker as well
3) A complete and thorough clean up the of mess (the surrounding area)
4) If the mess is reasonable, then the washing is unaided - drags a chair near to the wash basin, climbs on it and washes hands.
Note : These take almost half the time of the project in itself !
Advantages :
Good for the long run.
On the way to being independent.
Saves time
Intake is more
Good practice - will help when she goes to school
Disadvantages :
See Post Implementation Steps
Pre requisites : Complete susu just before sitting down to eat
Assumptions : There is some one available to sit with her through out till she finishes. Better if that some one is also eating the same stuff.
Perceived Risk :
The plate may just be toppled/inverted if not on watch
(A Small note : This risk has not materialized yet)
Oh ho! She is on her way to becoming a big girl nw? Good that the risk just remains a perceived one as yet :P

ReplyDelete@Sat: ahaan. nee oru naalaikku volunteer panriyaa ? :)
@AJCL : Yeah ! pappu mammam, thachi mammam and all that. Ironically, she loses interest fast with dry foods like chapathi and dosa :). Ippo yellaam "naan" mayam. So just when i wanted to start the training, she got into this phase :) Oh, you can borrow her all the way through! Missing office ? No way !
