I did well on the older/younger part but didn't understand the Yes/No part.</p> The last half of that quiz is just plain confusing.

Not bad-my baby is almost 6 months so 6 and 9 got me. My son is not really responding to his name yet so I guess that's why I got it wrong! Thanks for this! I had fun doing the quiz and I was totally into the reading. I'm a teacher too and know Piaget's studies of child development. Incidentally Piaget totally explains that whole hoopla over Baby Einstein dumbing down kids. But that's a comment for another post for another time! Cheers!</p> Whoa…9/11!

My son is 2.5 years old. Pre-child, I too, probably would have gotten very few questions correct. That was fun, thanks for posting. Now I want to quiz all my friends. :)</p> I was shocked to see I scored 11 out of 11. My son is 2.5 years old. Pre-child, I too, probably would have gotten very few questions correct.

I read a lot of research and such even though my sons are past these very early ages! My Psychology degree makes me very curious about many studies. The answers didn't surprise me.
