[QUOTE="SophiaW, post: 117362, member: 13451"] Thanks everyone :) Jess is still doing most of the injecting herself. Sometimes she asks me to do it for her, I guess we all want a break now and again :) But mostly she's managing to do all the injections by herself. The reason I created this thread, apart from being a super proud mother and wanting to tell the world about it :), is to offer encouragement to other parents who feel the way I did when medical professionals tried to push that Jess is old enough and should be doing it all herself. That was probably a year ago that they compared her to other children of her age and said I shouldn't be helping her with it. I always believed that it was something she should only take responsibility for when she herself felt she was ready. Our children have enough to cope with as it is let alone being pressured to do something they're not yet confident about. I don't think age should be used as a guide but rather willingness and confidence of the person in question. [/QUOTE]
