Is your child continent?

I was filling up the children's information sheets for the Morquio conference as they need information about the children for them to be able handle them for their social programme. There was a question as saying, 'Is your child continent? Yes/No.' The 'continent' that I know is the 'landmass' ie European continent, Asian continent as so on. I looked up the dictionary.com and came across another meaning of continent - able to control urinary and fecal discharge :-) And of course the answer is Yes for Adnin and Aqilah. But they need someone to take them to the toilet as usually the fireproof door (or rather the access door to the toilet) is heavy for them to open or the handle might be too high for them to reach.

There is another term that I need to look up to - 'can they weight bear'. It meant, can they stand bearing their own weight. Adnin can walk a short distance as her knocked knees cause her pain when she walks quite a distance. Her teacher even suggested that we request the school to buy a pushchair so that somebody can push her on her class field trips. As for Aqilah, she can easily stumble and fall; and as the result, she needs her hand held when walking so that she will not stumble and fall. I cannot forget the day that she ran as we approach our home and stumbled. Her head hit the pavement and was bleeding quite badly. Luckily I was not that panicked and able to handle the situation well.
