My parents and grandparents thought I was pushing my son too hard. If i hear let him be a kid one more time I might blow my top. I am letting him be a kid. He LOVES learning, because I've taught him it can be fun. I was always behind in school and I don't want that for my son. Its not that he is always forced to learn, its that I carefully choose toys, books and tv time to be stimulating. My son didn't know who Dora was until he was almost 4. Granted yes she is educational, but at the time I found Leap Frog videos and YBCR to be a better option.
Now that they see him almost 3 years later, my mom is always trying to get him to show my aunts what he knows. They are so proud of him. Any they see too that he is a normal little boy who loves trains, cars, tools and best of all LEARNING.
Now when I tell people I'm homeschooling they tell me, "he's better off in your hands"
Don't let others tell you your crazy! Your little one will thank you when she is older!
Great Job!
