[quote=Anonymous]No one is saying that you can't learn AND have fun. What we are saying is that if your primary goal is to master academic skills, you are absolutely going to be doing that at the expense of child-led play. And the gold-standard of child development is child-led play with a loving and responsive caregiver for at least the first 3-4 years. If a child is pretending to cook and is creating an elaborate pretend recipe and you interrupt her flow to point out that her pretend bag of flour has an F on it or to count aloud how many ingredients she has...you are not teaching her more than she would learn through you entering into her play with her.
