Strengths/Weaknesses of my 4 1/2 yo???

[Pembo]

We are having our ds evaluated for Early Entry into Kindergarten. And one of the questions on the application is "What are your child's strengths and weaknesses?"

I have no idea how to answer that one! Any suggestions????

Strengths are things you think he does well. It could be getting along with others, verbalizing his feelings, reading...The things that you think they'll be looking for to place him in the EE program.
Weaknesses would be the things you think he needs to work on though you'll want to word it so it sounds like he's improving in those areas.
I'm curious- Why are you looking at this option?

Wow, I think I could have written a list a mile long for both of those with my daughter at that age.

I would look at social skills, academic skills, emotional maturity, etc. as areas to cover for strengths and weaknesses (or as we call them, "areas for improvement").
