Here at FunEducation.com, a primary focus of ours is to provide real, validated exams for children and adults. The variety of assessments we offer not only identify a child's personality, but also assess the child's intelligence.
The Kids IQ Test and Spatial IQ Test are both great tests for young kids to assess their intelligence. Both exams are about 200 questions in length and are validated by PhD-level clinical psychologist researchers. The end result is an accurate IQ score for your child as well as a detailed report.
If you are interested in learning more about your kid's intelligence, why not take one of our exams!

The links between the age of a baby's parents when the baby is born and a baby's intelligence or congenital disorders has been debated for decades. Most doctors agree that older parents giving birth carry a much higher risk of birth defects than younger parents.
What about intelligence? A study published in the New York Times confirms that babies born of older fathers generally do have a lower IQ than those of younger fathers. The differences are not terribly significant, but they are evident in the study.

Parents are usually faced with many challenging decisions when it comes to their child's education. These tough decisions start at a very early age for their children especially since most researchers agree that the first five years of a child's life are the most important for growth and development. One of the biggest decisions might just be about something as simple as whether or not to expose your child to television programming at an early age.
How does TV affect babies younger than 2 years old? Does educational programming actually increase a child's IQ score? Does it diminish a child's intelligence quotient? Have no affect whatsoever?
WebMD published an interesting study indicating that watching television at a very early age has no significant effect on a baby's growth.
Want to know your child's IQ score? Take our Kids IQ Test and find out now. We offer a PhD-certified exam that is highly accurate for children ages 6-16.

Another time [the Buddha] said, "Suppose a man is struck by a poisoned arrow and the doctor wishes to take out the arrow immediately. Suppose the man does not want the arrow removed until he knows who shot it, his age, his parents, and why he shot it. What would happen? If he were to wait until all these questions have been answered, the man might die first." Life is so short. It must not be spent in endless metaphysical speculation that does not bring us any closer to the truth. - Thich Nhat Hanh, Zen Keys
Buddhism is an interesting religious tradition. In fact, it is not even always considered a religion, but rather a family of beliefs and practices. Buddhists trust in what are referred to as the Three Jewels: the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha which are respectively the Awakened One, the Teachings and the Community.
The Buddha is believed to have been a man named Siddhartha Gautama who shared many teachings during his lifetime sometime around the 5th century B.C. The teachings of the Buddha tend to shy away from the so-called 'Big Questions' of life. This is generally seen as demonstrative of his aversion to contemplating these issues, as they distract from the pursuit of true knowledge known as Enlightenment, a state free from worldly pleasures and suffering. Experience is emphasized over philosophical musings, although Buddha did not actively dismiss philosophy.
The quote at the beginning of this article demonstrates the Buddhist theory of why philosophical musings on the meaning of life are futile and/or distracting. It can be seen as Nihilistic, but in fact is better described as Pragmatic.
The arrow (life) should be addressed, rather than the shooter (is there meaning/God), the source (our/the Universe's origins), or why he was shot (why are we here). This is a fairly unique stance for any religious or even quasi-religious tradition, as it leaves out the usual purpose of humanity: serving a higher power. However, the Buddhist teachings are extremely interesting and can give insight to not only the meaning of life, but also to our life as it is.
