I was given this questionnaire to fill out from Bode's preschool. I was looking at it at work and said to a coworker, "OK. I guess I really don't know my child very well" as I read her the questions. But I think I've managed to give a quick glimpse of him.
What are your child's strengths? very verbal, likes to be helpful, physically adept
What are your child's needs? time to get comfortable, patience, gentle nudges to try
What are your child's special interests? books, "building trucks" (i.e. diggers, dumpers; etc.)
What are some of your child's favorite things to do? trucks, trains, dig in dirt/sandbox, OUTSIDE play!
What are some things your child does not like? not particularly into crafts (as hard as I try!)
What are your child's favorite books? Mr. Seahorse, My Truck is Stuck, Frog & Toad series, Mouse Tales series
What type of special activities do you like to do with your child? playdough, storytime, swim, zoo, ice cream dates
What motivates your child? making something a challenge--"race" or "game" seems to help but for the most part he'll do something when he's good and ready!
What rewards work best for your child? hmmmmm...certainly loves sweets! An "atta-boy." For the most part he doesn't really respond to do something for the sake of a reward
What do you hope your child will gain from this school year? increased social skills; I'd like to see him come out of his shell; participate more willingly in group activities; have fun

Ah, the questionnaire. I have filled out more of these than I can count. It's funny to see your child on paper, eh?
I should answer those questions about Leah, just to have a record of what she is like now. Good questions! And you certainly seemed to know Bode -- you even try to do crafts! I'm impressed:)
Hi Cami! We're one minute apart.
