how to answer application questions

How do you answer questions such as academic interests, describing temperament/personality, learning style and my all time favorite, "provide additional information that you feel would be important for us to know"

OP: By academic interests I took the school to mean what types of subjects are your child interested in. We wrote reading, science, and music.

Learning style - do you think your child would do better in structure or not? Hands-on?

Additional info - possible examples: my child is allergic to peanuts, grandparent died last month and ever since has been .... , started to read at 6 months, and none

I remember having to write this when my son was 4 (for Pre-K). But I also remember having to write something for him when he was 2. Talk about hard. Interests? At that point his only displayed interests were taping things together and pushing the vacuum.

When my son was applying for pre-k, I think we mentioned that he did some karate, and he really loved stories. It wasn't what I wrote but how I wrote it (meaning, I really tried to give them a sense of who my child was). I wouldn't stress out or try to make your child sound more quirky or exceptional than he or she is. Just think of what are the defining characteristics of your child (and for mine, it seriously was that he would be mesmorized every time I started to tell him a story) and write about them.

thank you. this definitely would not be so difficult if he were a bit older.
