I also think that some 3 year olds are precocious enough to get into bad habits. Some kids seem to be born 'addicted' to the easy answer. Character building happens from birth, and academics is just another area where one gets to practice building character. Just remember to praise every tiny little effort - no matter how small it may be - with a kid who is up against this.

I totally agree praising effort or finding an activity for your child that would be challenging for them is all a very good thing.
I'm still a bit alarmed about that kind of tone when referring to preschoolers from a tester. I guess in my ideal world, 4 year olds could have a bad day, or show their true colors, and get a meaningful and appropriate school placement. Call me a crazy idealist!
