The Enneagram is a personality test that is growing in popularity because of it's helpfulness. Have fun with your child and go through these questions to answer them and to review your results. We hope this will help you to get a better understanding of your child, and maybe help them understand you better as well!

The 5 Love Languages is another tool to learn more about your student. This quiz helps to pinpoint how you give and receive love! We hope this tool helps you to communicate with your child about what they need to know you care, and if you take it, it may help them understand you better too!
