hi just seen an add on tv for a programme thats coming on next tuesday on itv1 at 9,its a two part,
its called my "childs not perfect". and its about children with behavioural issues etc,and why some go undiagnosed for so long,
just thought id let you know,in case anyone is interested in watching it,xxx

Thanks crazy, will be watching that.

Sounds like it might be interesting (specially with the ITV take on things - I wonder who they'll have narrating with the voice of doooooom!)

I saw it advertised and it looks good so im going to watch,however i dont like the title at all.Really what is perfect

Thanks for the info - it sounds very interesting I will be watching!

Thanks for letting us know :) I too would like to know what perfect is...............

yes i have to agree,not keen on the title,but it will be a very interesting watch!

I saw the trailer too and wondered if anyone on this board will be appearing in it.

I shall be watching too although I don't like the title at all. My son has adhd and is waiting forassessment for HFA/aspergers. I just hope its a balanced programme and doesn't start bashing the parents. What other conditions do the children have in the programme?

My Child's Not Perfect, Episode 1

Two-part programme looking at the problem of children with behavioural, emotional or clinical issues that can go undiagnosed and are often put down to bad behaviour. Cameras follow families from a variety of backgrounds as they try to understand their children's problems and test methods of dealing with their conditions. In the first programme, the show meets six-year-old Katherine, who is chatty at home but has not uttered a single word at school. Can a speech therapist help her? 15-year-old Henry has been diagnosed with severe Tourette's Syndrome, but his problem may be improved by a trip to the dentist. The parents of 10-year-old Adam are frustrated as they struggle to get a diagnosis for him.

from the itv site. Not the best choice of titles!

Agree that title isn't great but it's really good to see a programme like this on a mainstream channel at peak time. Hopefully they'll handle it well & people can see how tough it can be. It won't happen but I'd love there to be a "Filling out the dla form" episode, think that would have to be a two parter!
