I do not think that parents should be able to give their children IQ tests. Children are already under enough pressure as it is to succeed according to their parent's standards. Besides, how many parents are educated enough to interpret the results? and if their child's score is not what they want it to be, what would they do? They could possibly interfere with their education at school. Parents are always wanted to participate in their child's education, but there is a reason why there are teachers and other administration. they are qualified to administer these kinds of tests.

  1. I agree. Parents are not trained to read them correctly and then they might get harder on them if it's not a high as they want it.

  2. Yea, I agree. I think there is enough pressure on kids once they get older to get into the right grade school, high school and college that they do not need any added pressure from parents.
