[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]

I would not do this with my child nor do I think it is "best practice"  but I'm sure other families do it. Every parent gets to choose how they want to parent.

In terms of posting on a sharing platform - I'm sure my parents would love if I sent them more photos and videos and I do take some of my daughter and her accomplishments (more in the climbing realm) so NBD as long as it's private.  I don't support posting on social media. [/quote]
