I received the paperwork from the neuropsych and it is like 15 pages long. Most of it is easy to fill out because it is asking about current behaviors/problems. But there are like a hundred questions that are ridiculous. Now I know I cannot answer them for Sean since I did not know him as an infant but my husband has no idea either. And I know I could never answer those questions if they were pertaining to Joe. Who remembers when their child "first showed discomfort because of wet/soiled diaper?" I can remember when Joe first crawled/walked/talked but I have no idea when he first babbled, pointed, and a million other details that you would really not know unless your baby was like 6 months old. We just estimated.

You're right. They are crazy questions. Unless you spend all your time writing every little thing in a baby book or their behavior was extreme, I sure wouldn't remember.

I think estimating will be good enough.

I would include a comment that you simply don't know the answer to some and just don't recall others. I don't think I paid a bit of attention to whether my babies reacted to wet or dirty diapers. They had such sensitive skin that I don't think it ever got past us. They wore cloth, so I think it was easier to spot when a change was needed. I think the neurologist is looking at a variety of sensorial and developmental issues, so I would say that some of the answers are guesses. |

Another thing that that (what appears to be silly questions) is a test for the parent, ie if the parent can answer all of those questions ie truthfully/knows the answer, then that parent maybe "overing doing" it in regard to thier child. That is, there is nothing else in their life bar the child.
Poor kid being oberversed in ANYTHING they do! :-)

Good point JennyWren! I hadn't thought of that but it makes perfect sense. Are we over focused on our child or asking too much of them?
