[quote=Anonymous][quote]I've heard starting Kumon too young (ie 4yrs) could backfire since it's based on lots of repitition- some younger kids tire of it and start to really resist. I've heard first or second grade is a better starting point. Though this is a generalization and your child could take to it and want to stick with it.[/quote] Funny, I've heard the same regarding reading too young because it's based on lots of repetition. Interesting, I've heard about the same things about repetition with violin, piano, swimming, gymnastics and computer programming. Perhaps we should simply do away with repetition as one mechanism for learning. But, let's make sure my pilot and surgeon have lots of repetition!![/quote]
