With the amount of inbreeding the royals had, it’s a wonder any of them weren’t all pointy chinned imbeciles unable to tie their own shoes. |

| Thanks for the laugh. Don’t worry. Lots of people here think their snowflakes are special including me. |

| Are you willing to spend more money for an educated nanny? One with a college degree will easily cost you $70K+. There are nanny agencies that only have college-educated nannies. |

Skip the workbooks. Don't worry about academics. At this age everything is a learning opportunity. Board games, cooking, and crafts will help with math. Walking/playing outside will help with science. Chatter will help with vocabulary/literacy, as will songs and rhymes. Reading helps with everything. As she shows interests in things, encourage and support them, but at this point the best thing you can do is give her as many new experiences as possible. COVID may limit many opportunities, but it doesn't have to be momentous to be exciting for her.
I know DCUM is antiscreen, but I think they can be positive. As an adult Spanish learner, I've enjoyed the Super Simple Español channel which has preschool songs in Spanish. I've often wished they'd had it when my kids were younger because I think they would have enjoyed it. They used to love learning Spanish from Dora the Explorer. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyY3Wd5x85o8AKXjYSoxFAQ Basically, your child is a sponge right now who is learning at an incredible rate. If you push academics, you can maybe have her ahead of her peers (which will be problematic - I speak from experience) but possibly have her resenting school, learning, and academics in general. If you introduce the world to her and let her explore at her rate while you enjoy this precious time with her, I think you'll both be happier and it will benefit her more academically in the long run. |

| I am hoping this really is a troll. I think it might be playing off some recent posts that have been very intense about toddler academics and over parenting. If not op please consider slowing down and considering what your actual goals are for your child. Is your goal achievement? Or is it to raise a kind well rounded human? Pure achievement and success usually isn’t a great focus if kind and functioning human is your actual goal. |

OP here. I guess I’m a semi-troll. It was more of a “shower thought” post. |
