[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My cousin posts daily photos & videos of her 3.5yo daughter’s intellectual accomplishments on our family’s sharing platform.

The latest was her daughter writing out words. Previously it was tracing letters, counting to 50, memorizing facts, and playing STEM related games.

We don’t do these scholarly activities at home, but I’m not here to contrast parenting styles. I’m glad their daughter is bright. Girl power! I’m here to ask is this what’s going on in other families as well? Will this really give kids a leg up in school or will they be bored in class when others are learning?[/quote]

Well, if the kid is happy to do those things, it's ok-maybe the kid is going to be really smart in school. Most likely, she'll be high average and that's ok too. I have 2 kids who graduated 2nd and 9th in their HS class (one's an engineer and one is in hospitality mgt), one of them didn't walk till 15 months and another wet the bed until age 5. You never know  :wink: [/quote]
