Does my child dwell on negative experiences?

This test covers rumination, intrusive thoughts, anticipation, reassurance, sleep, concentration, conflict, repair, remorse, mood, self-esteem, rejection, pleasure, curiosity and readiness to change. What the test asks, for example Rumination If your child says they cannot stop thinking about something that is bothering them. If your child moves from one subject to another in a conversation, without staying stuck on a thought. Intrusive thoughts If your child struggles to turn away from recurring thoughts even when activities are offered. If your child carries on with enjoyable activities without interrupting them to return to a worry. Anticipation If your child imagines possible catastrophes from small daily events and returns to them several times. If your child easily 'closes' a topic of concern as soon as the situation has been resolved. Reassurance If your child asks the same question several times about something that worries them, even after it has been answered. If your child is satisfied with a single answer about a situation, without seeking any further reassurance. Sleep If your child has trouble falling asleep because thoughts seem to occupy their mind despite tiredness. If your child sleeps through the night even after a day when something difficult happened. Concentration If your child seems unable to concentrate on anything else as long as a worry remains unresolved. If your child stays focused on homework or activities even when something is on their mind. Conflict If your child has difficulty moving on after a conflict, even when reconciliation has taken place. If your child moves on quickly after a misunderstanding or conflict with a friend or adult. Repair If your child has difficulty truly forgiving — even when they say it is settled, the topic resurfaces. If your child becomes relaxed and close again after an argument, as soon as the issue is resolved. Remorse If your child dwells on mistakes they have made, even when those mistakes have no lasting consequences. If your child accepts their own mistakes and moves on without going back over them. Mood If your child seems to express more sadness or discouragement during periods of rumination. If your child quickly regains their usual good mood after a difficult event. Self-esteem If your child holds on to negative beliefs about themselves even when reality contradicts them. If your child focuses on what went well rather than on what went wrong. Rejection If your child regularly complains that others do not like them or treat them badly, even without clear evidence. If your child lets hurtful words or behaviors go quickly. Pleasure If your child is less available to play or interact when they are carrying something on their mind. If your child fully enjoys a good moment even when a worry is on their mind. Curiosity If your child avoids certain activities or interactions because they are afraid it might bring back a difficult thought. If your child stays just as curious and enthusiastic during periods when they ruminate more. Readiness to change If your child's tendency to dwell on negative experiences has a real impact on your family life right now. If you believe you are capable of supporting your child through this change.
