There's a little girl, now in second grade, that was a frequent flier to my office last year. She made up things ranging from accidents she didn't have to saying her dad hit her and she's in pain (do not fear, we take all such reports seriously and did file a CPS on that one). For such a tiny little girl, she's loaded with mental health issues, and after almost a full school year of denial, the parents are finally getting her therapy.
Still, I wasn't surprised today when she asked to see me. The reason, however, was one I haven't heard before: the "summer diarrhea virus."
Hey kid, summer's over.
