Prize for anyone who guesses what 11yr old dd was asked by child psychiatrist today

Go on guess bet you never get it in a million years

LOL My only experience of boys when I was 11 was being put to bed in my mum's friend's son's bed when I was 3 - and I was not impressed, it smelled of wee.

I don't know what sort of 11 year old girls he knew! Makes you wonder.

My father and brother are psychiatrists but don't deal with children. There is a big divide between psychiatrists who see children and those who don't because the issues etc are so different so you would have thought there would be very different questionnaires presented.

Asking if a child has considered suicide might be an important question to raise. My 7 year olds know about suicide.

[At 11 I was having orgasms by the way although under my own control but of course children differ hugely in such matters...]

I have spoken to my dd a bit more about questionaire and it would seem that it was more geared to adults. She has said that there were a few words which she didnt recognise and that she guessed the meaning - so god knows what the outcome of the assessment was!!!
My dd reads a lot and therefore has a good vocabulary and thats why I know these questions were not aimed at children.
What I cannot get my head around is that she is attending a centre which deals specificaly with children ie she has been there because she still bedwets (different part of clinic)so why this questionnaire was even part of the assessment baffles me.

ishouldbedoingtheironing, you have my sympathies. My dd saw a school counsellor who made a bad situation much worse. I should have complained as soon as I realised but too much was going on in my life at the time I didn't have the energy. As it happens things got much worse with dd. Instead of helping dd she put ideas into dd's head. I did think of making a belated complaint but have since learnt that the counsellor is no longer at the school. If you are concerned find dd another counsellor.
