i could not really make out whether my baby is a listener or a looker. and then, are there any conclusions based on whether the baby is looker/mover/listener ? i mean, how is this classification useful ?
i think, most babies are a combination of the three classes and identifying the child this way is not any useful neither to the parents or to the child itself.
while going through all the three classes i feel my baby has qualities from each. so cannot identify in particular. i think this is not much useful and what to do after identifying wheather my child is looker,lisentner or mover. no futher suggestions!!
