Your baby has turned 4 years old, which means there is a great opportunity to help your baby develop his intelligence in a timely manner. The time has come to check whether the degree of formation of his mental processes corresponds to the norm, check potential capabilities in different areas of knowledge, identify which of them he succeeds in and which require additional attention.
Unfortunately, most adults underestimate the capabilities of this particular age, children’s needs for new information, and believe that there is still a lot of time ahead and it is too early to work with the child. Active preparation for education begins only a year before entering school. As a result, development stops, the child’s cognitive activity fades, and subsequent express periods lead to overload and fatigue, which subsequently cause a negative attitude towards learning.
With the help of these tests, you can easily determine the level of development of your baby, and most importantly, you can summarize the work done on the development of your child, and prepare him for the next, more in-depth stage of studies.
At 4 years old, a child should be able to: Attention.
Thinking.
Memory.
Fine motor skills.
Mathematics.
Speech development.
The world.
Child 4 years old: developing emotions
Psychologists say that a child’s emotions, like everything else, also need to be taught. And it’s best to start developing facial expressions and gestures in him when the child is 4 years old. Where to start and how to help a 4-year-old child master the world of emotions?
When a child is 4 years old, the baby should already be able to grasp the mood of another person and empathize with others. But he needs help to learn this. How?
So, by playing and imagining, you will psychologically competently “train” and educate the child’s emotions.
Is your child going to first grade in a couple of months? He is already so mature and independent. Soon he will begin to gnaw on science and absorb knowledge... Many mothers are very worried whether the baby is ready for school, whether it will be difficult for him there. The issue of a child’s readiness for school is very important, since the first impression of school and the subsequent desire or reluctance to attend it, as well as success, depend on readiness. Experts (teachers and psychologists) will help you find out how ready your child is for school. At the same time, psychological readiness for school is a very important aspect, so you should not neglect it.
Today we invite you to check the general erudition of your “less than five minutes” student, his general level of thinking, and his horizons. To do this, we offer a list of 35 questions that a 6-year-old child should answer:
- What is your name? Your last name? Surname?
- How old are you, how old will you be in a year, and in 2 years?
- When's your birthday?
- How is your mother's name? Full name with surname and patronymic.
- What's dad's name? Full name with surname and patronymic.
- When is your mom's birthday? (it is enough to name only the month)
- When is your dad's birthday? (it is enough to name only the month)
- Where do your parents work? By whom?
- What country do we live in?
- What is the name of the city where you live?
- Give your address, mom or dad's phone number.
- What to do if you suddenly get lost?
- What to do if you cut yourself?
- How much does a loaf of white (gray) bread cost?
- Do you smell gas in the apartment? What to do?
- What to do if you offended a friend?
- Where is the ice thicker - near the shore or in the middle of the reservoir?
- Why can't we, visitors, feed the animals at the zoo?
- What day is today? What will it be like tomorrow? What was it like yesterday?

- Name 5 domestic and 5 wild animals.
- Name 5 cities.
- What types of transport do you know?
- What is the difference between an old person and a young person?
- Why play sports?
- Why go to school?
It is worth paying attention if the child cannot answer most of these questions. Perhaps he should study some more, or perhaps he does not understand what is being asked, or perhaps he simply does not want to answer... If only a few questions remain without the correct answer, then your 6-year-old has a broad outlook and has a fairly high level of erudition .
Before starting the test, make sure that your child is not tired, not hungry and is in a good mood. If your child doesn’t want to answer questions now, don’t force him, wait for another moment. Try to ask questions playfully. Please remember that the test results are for guidance only.
TEST
- Enter your details:
- What's your name?
- What is your last name?
- Are you a boy or a girl?
- How old are you?
- What, in one word, can all these items be called:
We put “+” if the child answered all the questions correctly.
- Count the objects (there should be exactly 4 items):
We put “+” if the child counted correctly, and without prompting.
- What shape are these objects? (only circle and square):
- Say a phrase to your child: “Listen carefully 9 , 3 , 7 , repeat".
We put “+” if the child repeated all three numbers correctly.
- Which strip is longer:
We put “+” if the child answered 2 questions correctly.
Result:
You have everything « + » – the child’s development corresponds to his age.
If there is one « — » – test the child according to. If there is not a single minus in the test for children 3 years old — the child’s development corresponds to his age. If there is at least one « — » – you should show your baby to a child psychologist.
If two or more « — » — your child develops somewhat differently than his peers. Consult a child psychologist, he will help you choose a specific approach to teaching your baby.
There are wonderful educational games on our website!

Have your child take simple tests. This will be a new type of game for him. In the meantime, he will “play”, you will do research and decipher the inner world of your baby. What is this world like? What makes a child happy? What's upsetting? Does he have fears and insecurities? Does he like to fantasize? Does he experience loneliness in his family?
Test "my family"
Children have their own ideas about the family, their own theory about the “unit of society.” Want to know what your child thinks about relationships with their immediate family? Give him a sketchbook sheet, colored pencils, enough time and ask: “Draw our family.”
◈ It is advisable that you are not nearby when the child is completing the task. He should be free and relaxed, he should not have any instructions: draw as best as possible so that he likes it.
◈ Let it be fun for the baby, and for you - material for research.
◈ If your child is in a bad mood or has witnessed a family conflict the day before, postpone the test for a more appropriate moment.
◈ If a child asks questions like: “How to draw?”, “What to draw?” or “Where to start?”, this suggests that, in essence, he does not know what “family” is. This is a pebble for your garden. It is necessary to find out and eliminate the reasons for such ignorance. Of course, this is a job for the whole family.
◈ Be sure to discuss the finished drawing with your child, even if “everything is clear to you.” It is important to speak out loud, clarify some points, the baby will help you with this and will willingly share his thoughts. Ask questions: “Who is this? Who's nearby? How many fingers does he have on his hands?
DECODING THE TEST
1. Is everything in place? Before you begin to interpret the test, you should know that there is nothing superfluous or random in a child’s drawing. Everything is important, everything carries its own meaning and has an emotional coloring (pencil pressure and color as well). If a child did not include one of the family members in the drawing, he did not just “forget.” He displaces this person at the subconscious level. How deep is it and what are the reasons? Perhaps these relationships can be adjusted on your own, or perhaps you will need the help of a specialist. If a child forgot to depict himself in the drawing, at least two reasons indicate this: “nobody needs me here” or “I live well without this company.”
2. Image size. A simple law works here: the larger the character drawn, the more significant it is for the child. If your brother or sister turns out to be giants, and mom and dad turn out to be midgets, admit that the parents are currently playing a secondary role for the baby.
3. Strangers among their own. It happens that children finish drawing fictional characters or even equipment. In their minds, they are full members of the family. These could be friends, neighbors, animals (real and non-existent), fairy-tale characters, cars. The presence of such characters indicates that the child lacks communication, understanding, and emotional closeness in the family, and he is looking for it outside the home.
4. Higher-lower. Notice how the characters are positioned in the picture. The higher the image, the more power. Accordingly, the lower the image is on the sheet, the less rights and powers it has. You have the opportunity to find out who runs the show in your family (if you don’t already know about it).
5. Distance between characters. This is an important detail in a child’s drawing, which indicates the psychological distance between the child and different family members. The close proximity of the characters to each other or their touching speaks of mutual understanding between relatives.
6. What am I like? If a child draws himself small in the corner of the picture, this indicates his low self-esteem. If he painted himself as a giant, occupying most of the space, he has a good opinion of himself, his beloved. In principle, preschool children often have inflated self-esteem: after all, they are “princes and princesses.” Over time, when children's egocentrism dissolves, this patina of “chosenness” will be erased in most children.
7. Pets. If your child has drawn your four-legged family member next to him, do not be offended: this is his dearest “person” and closest friend. After all, he doesn’t demand anything, doesn’t force you to wash your hands before dinner, put away toys, doesn’t scold you for dirty pants, etc. He doesn’t need anything, he just wags his tail with joy and gives his animal, but such unselfish love. Too much emotional attachment to pets may indicate that the child does not receive enough attention from people.
8. Alarm button. The character who is drawn with great emphasis, circled several times, shaded, causes the “artist” the greatest anxiety. Anxiety can be triggered by anyone in the family. Often adults (especially the older generation) unconsciously set their own programs and taboos, and for a child they can carry negative information and fear. Anxiety can also be expressed by timid pencil movements, weak lines and strokes.
9. Head and eyes. The biggest-headed member of your family is the smartest. Pay special attention to the mirror of a person’s soul—the eyes. In psychology, this part of the face reflects our emotional state, it is the source of tears, sadness or joy. If the eyes are huge, this is a cry for help, high anxiety, a need for affection and support. If, on the contrary, they are small (in the form of dots or slits), here you can read a ban on expressing emotions, restraint, fear of expressing oneself, weakness, uncertainty, depression.
10. Ears. Huge ears indicate a desire to listen to other people's opinions. The one with the biggest ears is the most docile and submissive. “Public opinion”, criticism of others, praise or censure are important to him. If a child draws himself with big ears, this may reflect the qualities of an auditory person: he perceives the world through hearing, and this is his leading information channel. In addition, large ears can indicate alertness and anxiety: the baby, like a radar, constantly picks up suspicious information about himself and the world.
11. Mouth. Pay attention to the size of the mouth. If it is large, open, shaded, this is a source of screaming, resentment, dissatisfaction, aggression, and expressed aggression. By and large, this is even good: it is better to express and throw out your feelings than to accumulate and hold them back. If the mouth is drawn as a small line, a dot, or is completely absent, it means that the character has a taboo on expressing his emotions, primarily negative ones. Such a person is afraid to express his own opinion, relies on the will of others, it is better for him to carry out orders than to take the initiative into his own hands. The presence of teeth indicates that the character is defending himself by attacking.
12. Neck. This part of the body is the link between the mind and feelings. In the Japanese spiritual tradition, for example, there is the concept of “kokoro” - the place where the mind and heart meet, their harmonious fusion. Perhaps the neck is this place. If it is drawn, it means that the character has common sense, a rational mind, will over feelings. The absence of a neck is a sign of uncontrolled emotional manifestations.
13. Hands. These are our guides in the world of relationships, achievements, goals, aspirations. With them we “test” our capabilities, with their help we realize our abilities and talents. Pay attention to the presence and number of fingers on your hands. If they exist, this speaks of self-confidence and the ability to express oneself as much as possible in the world. The fingers of the left hand reflect connections within the family circle, the fingers of the right hand - outside of it. Large hands speak of open-mindedness, courage and power.
14. Legs. This is our support, confidence, strength, firmness. Strong legs with large feet indicate that the character is well grounded and feels powerful support of his kind. Thin legs hanging in the air indicate isolation from the world, fear of the unknown, and lack of self-confidence. In addition, the legs symbolize the opening of new spaces, the possibility of movement in life, change and transformation in the mental space of a person.
A person’s eyes, if you really look into them and not casually, carry a lot of information. Look into your child's eyes as often as possible. Do this not with the goal of “come on, tell the truth,” but with love. When you talk to your baby, sit down and get down to his level. This will help you establish a child-child relationship rather than a parent-child relationship. The more often your “inner child” gets in touch with your baby, the more chances you will have to understand the nature of children's consciousness and accept it as it is.
Sad fact
The results of numerous tests by psychologists indicate that modern children are increasingly lazy to invent, think creatively, fantasize and dream. If you ask a child to draw something just like that, he will most often draw primitive things: dots, sticks, circles. There is an explanation for this. Children are strongly focused on evaluation from adults, on results and praise, rather than on the process for pleasure.
