He was giving his younger brother various wooden puzzles and watching closely as he completed them. He was counting how many tries it would take him to complete the puzzle. He had pen and a paper and was making tally marks each time DS2 got a piece in the correct spot. The results: Shape Puzzle: Took 9 tries for 9 pieces Number Puzzle: Took 11 tries for 9 pieces. Alphabet puzzle: Took 38 tries for 26 pieces. Total tries was 58 for 44 pieces. DS5 then went on to write the number as a fraction and then (with my help) expressed as a percentile. Either he is a future psychologist or he's just had too many of his own evaluations Crisc

He even told me that he thinks the scores will get better as DS2 gets older since the puzzles will become easier for him. I guess he needs to start recruiting some more test subjects for his research...I can just imagine the ad. Crisc

Growing up I was always the "research subject" and never the researcher. It got old fast

I stayed up all night when I was 5 listening to the station on the radio giving temp data and plotting it. Then the next day I found the same data in the newspaper!! AARGH!!!
