HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW YOUR
KIDS?*
After the Listening
and Communication assignment for the Family Life Program, some parents and
students requested this questionnaire to even things up a bit. The students participating in the program
submitted the following questions. See
how many you can answer about your child.
Remember, only your child can grade this for you, only he/she knows the
right answers for sure.
Good Luck!
