[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]No one can legislate or even prescribe (like the PP) what is appropriate for a given child or family unit.  There is so much variability from child to child -- based on DNA, biology, culture, language, religion, household, income, domicile, family and social network.  In some families, both parents have time consuming occupations and therefore much of the activities for the children are highly organized, regulated and outsourced.  In other family units, there is extensive parental presence, and or extended family presence, in the home and "enrichment" for the child is more "local" and familial.[/quote]

Who ever wrote this post seems to think that more more more is the way to go. I feel a balance in child development is in order here. There should be time to learn and time to relax and play. Just like we do as adults. We work all day and need time to wind down at the end of it. A child needs that time as well. If the father is doing all these programs to the child, I wonder if he takes the time to wind down at the end of his day or does he work 24 hours a day. This child needs to be abel to learn and grow in many different ways in her young years. To much of one or not enough of one can harm her. I feel that a doctor is needed here soon to help the father understand how to raise a well rounded child.[/quote]
