We are welcoming guest author Lara from TestingMom.com. Today she is sharing about how to make test prep a fun, natural part of your day. Today, we will be discussing how you can best integrate test prep for the NYC gifted and talented exams into your everyday routine. While the preparation process may initially appear daunting, or one that requires “super human” effort, a little bit of time each day can go very far. In fact, keeping it light and fun with a daily objective is far preferable to lengthy study periods. Not only will you enjoy the process more leading up to the testing day, but your child will approach the test with a greater sense of ease. Phrasing can be everything when discussing a test such as the gifted and talented with your child. For example, practice sessions could be referred to as “vocabulary blast”, “speed solving”, or “study rockstar”. These are friendly and fun names that may help to encourage your child to embrace the preparation process.   Depending
