Feeling wobbly after Ed Psych assessment

[wrinklytum]

Thats it really.Half way through suddenly felt myself welling up and had tears rolling down my face.Stupid,stupid stupid.Has this happened to anyone else?Ususally feel relatively on top of it all but it just got to me.Not even sure why I am posting,really

Sorry it was grim. I remember being particularly upset during one of DS's early private SALT appointments - I thought he was doing better, then SALT casually throws in "oh yes, he's still severely delayed", I was gutted. Unfortunately these assessments do end up focussing on what our kids can't do (inevitably really). Time for glass of wine/chocolate I think.

I sometimes feel tearful in those kinds of appointments. The person can make ten positive comments but the one negative one can still get to me.

Sorry you've had a rough time of it. Don't beat yourself up about it. I think sometimes it just needs to come out IYSWIM. Take care. xxx

When my dd was going through diagnosis period i cried at every appointment we went to which involved loads of different professionals and loads of appointments, i'm sure by the end over emotional mother was written on every report about my dd, its quite natural to be emotional at times like these and you wont be the last parent to get upset over the development of their child, so big hugs to you

It's horrible isn't it. And once you start you can't stop!

I have just received an independent EP report for my daughter and it makes grim reading. It gives a real reflection on her school day and it's awful.
