[QUOTE="neednewtechnique, post: 38200, member: 3527"] Our difficult child's therapist got to the point that she told us if we suspected our difficult child was cutting that we should do a "body check" after her shower because while they may start on their arms, usually after the first time someone notices them, they switch to more private areas that people don't generally see. The inside of the upper thigh is a place she said to check, also the lower abdomen, right above the pubic bone is a place she said to check. So in case the professionals don't mention this to the foster carers, you might let your difficult child's social worker know that they should be aware of those areas as well as the arms. Very fortunately for us, our difficult child had only a very brief experience with cutting, she really didn't enjoy it and stopped on her own. [/QUOTE]
