1. Imagine two feet of snow have fallen outside. School is canceled. How does your child spend the day?

1. Setting up a snowman-making contest in which they both compete and judge. Teaching a younger sibling how to make snow angels. Insisting they are not cold even though their lips have turned blue.
2. By appointing you as their own personal entertainment director and asking "What are we going to do next?" about a hundred times.
3. Sledding with the neighborhood kids, then inviting them all back to your house for hot cocoa (and dry socks).
4. Building an impressive igloo, then searching for the sleeping bag and a lantern.
5. Curled up on the couch in their jammies, a stack of favorite movies, and a mug of hot cocoa.
6. Making up new games, coloring, drawing, writing a story about a family of snow-people, building a snowman and dressing it up in your old clothes.

2. What are your child's favorite subjects or activities?

1. Gym, after-school sports, student council, debate team.
2. Show-and-tell, drama club, dance class.
3. Socializing. Lunch, recess, passing notes, after-school clubs. Prefers working in a group.
4. Science, social studies, animals, plants and bugs. Often prefers working independently.
5. Naptime, reading, math, may also prefer working independently.
6. Art, music, creative writing, English.

3. You are not happy about something your child has done (at home or in school). How do they respond when you confront them on the issue?

1. They are quick to get angry and will vigorously defend their side of the story. If friends are involved, they will defend them, too.
2. They try to divert your attention and gain your sympathy by being overly dramatic (often, a tearful monologue followed by a tearful apology.)
3. They generally do not like conflict so they try to resolve the situation quickly by apologizing, being agreeable or making a joke. They usually don't hold a grudge for long.
4. They listen, seem to feel genuinely sorry, and may spend some time seriously thinking about the situation or want to discuss it further.
5. They immediately admit the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
6. They quickly tell you a highly detailed, yet highly improbable story that conveniently explains the whole situation (you don't condone lying, but give them points for creativity). Or, they clam up and say nothing at all.

4. What do you think best describes your child's idea of their dream bedroom?

1. The biggest, best and latest TV, sound system, video gaming system, computer, wardrobe, etc. Maybe a dance floor and disco ball. Lots of space for lots of friends. And everyone is invited!
2. A stage and a spotlight. And a red carpet with paparazzi taking their picture. And their own entourage. And magazines with their picture on the cover.
3. After Disney World, it would be the second happiest place on Earth. There would be rides, cotton candy, and free admission for friends and family.
4. A tree house in the jungle. A hut on a tropical beach. The zoo.
5. Neat but cozy. A place for everything and everything in its place. Lots of nooks and crannies and cubby holes. Plenty of ways to just chill out – giant beanbags, a cool futon, even a massage chair. If they love water – an aquarium or even a built in pool would be cool, too.
6. A place where they can fully express their creativity without worrying about making a mess or making too much noise. Plenty of art supplies, musical instruments, etc...

5. You and your child decide to do a complete makeover on their bedroom: new theme, new paint, new furniture, new everything. What best describes how your child approaches this project?

1. Everything makes a statement. They know exactly what's "in" and they know exactly what they want. It's cool, it's trendy, it's "my way or the highway" all the way. Compromise? What's that?
2. They have some very big, over-the-top ideas that are highly personalized. A custom shade of pink for the walls. A room designed to look like a basketball court (with regulation net and trophy case.) Their name in neon lights over the doorway. Well, why not?
3. They have fun creating an upbeat and cheerful room. They like sharing ideas with you, but they also consider their friends who will be spending a lot of time in the room, too. If one idea doesn't work out, they don't get upset, they just think of something else.
4. They put a lot of time and thought into figuring out what they want in their room. They definitely have their own sense of style, but they are not concerned if it's the coolest or the trendiest. They choose simplicity over showiness. They want a space that feels calm and natural.
5. Their taste isn't too out of the ordinary. They may seem mostly interested in storage and organization (places for their stuff) and their own comfort. As long as that's covered, everything else is negotiable. In fact, they're happy to leave most of the decorating decisions up to you.
6. They have a million and one ideas (some a bit unusual) and have a hard time deciding. They change their mind often. If they can't find the perfect lamp/mirror/picture frame/pillow, they make it. Being unique is very important to them. Their style is more "creative chaos" than "classic casual".
