If I asked him which of three words was cat he would look at me like I'm a moron and walk away (my son hates to be tested especially if he feels the question is stupid and he knows that you know he knows - very hard sometimes to come up with new and clever ways to test his learning without him knowing he's being tested).
If any one out there has older children and has been through this phase of development or teachers with ideas I'd love to hear your opinion on where to go next?
I just want to comment how being all children different i think that 'not liking to be tested' is something most of them have in common.
It is difficult for us to 'forget about testing' specially since we are investing a lot of time and are anxious to see 'results'.
As told by many others: 'JUST ENJOY THE PROCESS', if they assimilate anything take it as an additional gift.
