Don't trust 90% of what you hear when it comes to the 4+
/Most of my clients don’t know the truth about the 4+ Assessments until they start working with me.
Many clients who don’t work with me end up wondering why their child was not successful in their 4+ Assessments.
Logically, we believe that it can’t be that hard for a 3 year old to pass an assessment. However, if you think this way - you are wrong. The 4+ Assessments are not easy at all.
Many parents think that they will just take their child into an assessment and let them have a little play and then they will just be offered a place.
It simply doesn’t work this way.
Many parents that I speak to listen to what their neighbours, family and ‘well meaning’ friends tell them about the 4+ Assessments. Sadly, I don’t think you should trust 90% of what you hear these people telling you.
Your emotional brain says ‘Well, Helen down the road told me that she didn’t do any assessment preparation, my child will be just fine!’
And by the time you end up registering for all of the 4+ Assessments, you’ve barely scratched the surface in terms of the curriculum you should have covered by this point.
Listen to me carefully. A parent who tells you that they didn’t prepare their child for their 4+ Assessments is lying… to… you.
Perhaps not with the intention of doing so but they are. Perhaps not with the intention of misleading you but they are.
I’m telling you this because I don’t want you to contact me and tell me that your child didn’t pass any of their 4+ Assessments (side note - sadly I receive hundreds of these calls every single year)
To pass the 4+ Assessments, your child needs thorough preparation.
Whether you prepare them yourself or whether you seek the help of an expert. You must prepare them and you must prepare them well.
