Are you worried about your child's mood?
As parents, we sometimes notice changes in our children's behavior: they are more irritable, have lost interest in their favorite games, or seem tired for no apparent reason. It's normal to wonder: "Is this just a phase or something more?".
El Kovacs Children's Depression Inventory (CDI) It is one of the most widely used and validated tools by psychologists worldwide to assess emotional well-being in children between 7 and 17 years.
Note to parents: This questionnaire is not a medical diagnosis, but a free guidance tool. If the result indicates significant symptoms, it is best to consult a professional for a complete evaluation.
Tips for taking the test with your child:
To ensure the most reliable results possible, we recommend the following:
- Find a quiet moment: Make sure there is no rush or distractions (television, mobile phones).
- Privacy and Trust: If your child is older, allow them to answer privately. If they are young, you can calmly read the sentences to them, assuring them that There are no right or wrong answers..
- Honesty about time: Remind him to think about how he has felt, especially in the last two weeks.
How to interpret the CDI
The system analyzes 27 key areas, including mood, self-esteem, and social relationships. At the end, the script will automatically calculate the intensity of the symptoms based on the official scale.
