Much of their day should be spent outside if possible. I understand that sometimes it isn't possible. I think you would have to worry if you were doing formal lessons before they were ready. Some kids can read early with no problems.

My 4.5 year old is reading well, and my 2.5 year old is even starting to read. I have not taught them or given them formal lessons. They have just picked it up on their own. This isn't the first time I've come across this information. And while it's helpful and important, every time I read it, I worry that I've somehow set my kids up for failure by not stopping them or discouraging them from reading. Is it different if they aren't being forced to learn?Randy and Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17809869085452495609noreply@blogger.com
