'Assessing 3 and 4 year olds is BONKERS!'
/If you truly believe that then why put your 3 and 4 year old through a 4+ assessment?
That is truly what is BONKERS.
If something doesn’t sit right with me when it comes to my son, guess what? I don’t engage in it. I simply don’t do it.
I don’t go around insulting it. I don’t go around judging others.
I don’t want to send my child to State school. So guess what? I will not send him to a State school. I don’t go around insulting state schools. That would make me look like a moron.
Why is it bonkers to assess a 3 and a 4 year old?
Why?
Because of their age?
3 and 4 year olds are capable of far more than you think!
3 and 4 year olds are exceptional thinkers. They have amazing minds that need to be nurtured and nourished. They are the most creative and most imaginative students! They are simply amazing.
People will talk about 3 and 4 year olds and say that ‘3 and 4 year olds are not intelligent!’
How insulting and how incredibly rude.
My son is now 4 and people are always telling me how intelligent he is. How amazing he is. How well rounded and capable he is.
Do you know why?
Because I put in the work. Just like my clients do every single day with their children.
If you think a 4+ assessment is ‘BONKERS’, do not send your child to one. That’s cool. Do what you want! Just stop insulting this process and stop insulting these amazing 3 and 4 year olds and everything that they accomplish through preparation for this incredibly challenging 4+ assessment process.
Preparing for a 4+ assessment and want to support your child every single step of the way?
