QUICK ANSWER
The Does my child dwell on negative experiences? is a 64-question self-assessment measuring 5 key dimensions. A parental observation test to identify signs of rumination in children: repeated return to painful thoughts or worries, difficulty letting go after a conflict or failure, impact on sleep or concentration. Rumination is not a character flaw — it is often the trace of an emotional burden the child does not yet know how to put down. This test is distinct from the performance anxiety test (E21 — fear of failure before a situation) and the adolescent distress test (E10 — overall psychological suffering). After completing it you get an instant overview, then a detailed PDF report (€2.99): scores per dimension, a radar chart and a personalized action plan. This tool is for self-knowledge and does not replace a professional consultation.
