| |    Pathways of Learning: The Quiz by Robert Needlman, M.D., F.A.A.P. reviewed by Robert Needlman, M.D., F.A.A.P. Choose the quiz that fits your child's developmental level (or choose the adult quiz for yourself): Infants and Toddlers - 6 months to 2 years Preschoolers - 3 to 5 years Elementary School Age - 6 to 12 years Adolescents - 13 to 18 years Adults All parents want their children to be smart and accomplished. For years, teachers and psychologists defined intelligence as a person's score on an IQ test. This test focuses on skills and abilities in two areas, language and math (or logic), and it does a pretty good job of predicting the kind of grades a child will earn in school. But, as everybody knows (but we parents often forget), there is more to school than grades, and more to life than school! In recent years, many educators have begun to look beyond language and math, and to pay attention to other ways children and adults make sense of the world around them and express themselves. A benefit of this theory of multiple intelligences is that it enables teachers to perceive their students as being smart in many ways, and not just judge them by their English compositions and math scores. It also encourages teachers to reach children in many different ways, not just through lectures, readings, and worksheets. As a parent, the more you understand about the variety of pathways children follow as they take in information and express themselves, the better able you'll be to recognize your child's own particular gifts. Because children change so quickly, we've designed four different Pathways of Learning Quizzes (in addition, there's one for adults in case you want to learn more about yourself!). Each has about 20 questions to help you pinpoint the ways your child learns best. At the end of each quiz, we give you suggestions for specific things you can do to nurture your child's strengths, as well as to improve the learning pathways that may be relatively weak.
