Thoughts on ASQ questionnaire?

I find the whole questionnaire process so stressful. Call me dubious, but I find the whole questionnaire very daunting for: • New parents who are just on a learning curve; their child isn't the only one trying to figure things out. The parents are too. • Parents of children with learning difficulties. • Parents who have underlying mental health disorders, including in the postpartum period, such as anxiety disorder and/or OCD. Honestly? If I could choose to, I would scrap it. Yes, I understand it can be an assessment tool of a child's development, but I think these can be mentally damaging for both the child and the parent(s). Like, imagine someone saying to you that your child has a developmental delay. You might or might not think, "have I been doing something wrong?", “are they behind because of something I have or haven’t done?”. This is not a post to bait people, but I think these can do more harm to a child and parent than good, and that really if there are concerns about a child's development, the parents should be able to reach out to their health care provider themselves for early intervention, rather than a questionnaire deciding that for them. Each child develops at their own pace. I think they should all be given a chance to learn, don't be so critical on the child with a questionnaire "cut-off", and be open-minded about considering intervention if you think that your child needs it. That is all ❤️ (Picture grabbed for context).
