I was allowed to be in the room when my dd was first tested at four and a half. She was very introverted and even with me in the room, she was hesitant to speak. She ended up not completing the test as she had what we recognize now as a blood sugar issue- she had a donut and cocoa for breakfast, what I considered a "treat" LOL, ended up making her crash 45 minutes into the testing process.
She was tested two years later and did fine without me in the room.
Testing a four year old is tough, even for a veteran administrator. Good luck!
The psychologist recommended bringing lots of healthy snacks, so hopefully we can avoid any blood-sugar issues. I'm just starting to see this problem emerging at home [aargh - the monster is coming - get him something to eat quick!]
I worry about his age too, but if early k entrance is a recommended course of action, we've got to do it now i guess.
