Re: Draw a Person
No doubt there is a site somewhere that advises parents on how to get their children drawing people well at age 3 for school entrance assessments - with a forum where they can compare progress and strategies for improvement

Re: Draw a Person
I find it amusing that the test is named Goodenough... clearly three of my DCs aren't, when it comes to this particular measure of development!

Was that a typo or a really sad admission, Stroudydad? Perhaps neveragain* would like to bring her professional skills to bear on that one?stroudydad wrote:I live this place.

neveragain has most likely got us all sussed and writing a thesis. (looks out of curtain for men in white coats)Amber wrote:Was that a typo or a really sad admission, Stroudydad? Perhaps neveragain* would like to bring her professional skills to bear on that one?stroudydad wrote:I live this place.
I've asked all DC to draw me a picture of a person and will report back my findings on their development. I'm not hopeful much has changed since they were 3 yrs old (in terms of drawing ability). It may actually have regressed somewhat. Depends how many vodkas the older ones have had.

Most definately a Freudian, created by Newtons best.
Re: Draw a Person
All very interesting..and highly amusing! And if schools are using this as an early years entrance 'assessment', then like you say Okanadan, I am sure there may well be many 3yr olds practicing their drawing skills. I looked up the Goodenough test and the score guide, and DD's average score is 16, which equates to a mental age of 7yrs. But what does that really indicate? Surely the mental age concept is quite broad, and covers more than intellectual functionality? I guess in isolation it really means little more than a shrewd eye for detail, and thankfully the only appendage bordering on pathological so far, is the startlingly spiky hair

Sorry, neveragain* was in a darkened room after contemplating the potential psychosis of most of the posters.......
