[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A parent has to know how much they can push their child. I don't know how old OP's child is. That is a key bit of info. For me, my child was spending so much time on the social challenges of school, that we HAD to work at home. No question. This allows my child to feel more confident in the class setting. But we did [b]fun learning games[/b]. We have never done flash cards.[/quote] No one is saying you can't work on academic subjects at home, but workbooks and flashcards are pretty much the worst approach for most kids--SN or not. However, there is an innate competitiveness in this area that makes people want their kids to be "ahead" for the sake of being ahead. Seriously, no one cares if a kid learns to read at 4. That's why you read about these morons on Gen'l Parenting doing flashcards with their toddlers.[/quote]
