[quote=Anonymous]I'm not being snarky, but seriously think you are worrying too much about this. Unless a kindergarten teacher has expressed real alarm to you ("Every child in the class can count to 100 and Johnny doesn't seem able to distinguish quantities at all!), there is really no reason whatsoever to be getting tutoring, however "fun." Childrens' cognitive development is uneven and varies from child to child. Nothing you have said suggests a problem; in fact, there is some evidence that pushing children to develop skills too soon can end up backfiring. If you're not alarmed, just do as the PPs have suggested and play some monopoly and let him count change. Otherwise, don't fret, and save the money you'd have spent on a tutor to do something fun with him.... :-)[/quote]
