Do you think that children with pushier parents achieve more? I've always gone along the 'let them be children' route, but am now wondering if in fact I should have being doing more English/maths with them at home. Both my eldest two are very bright imo, and ds1 can read fluently at the end of reception, but I just wonder if I should have done more with him at home. Dd is just 3, and knows half her letters, can write her name etc, but compared to a lot of children of friends is behind. Now I know that the important thing for starting school is to be out of nappies, able to talk, and to sit still - she's fine at all that, but I don't want her to be 'behind' simply because of my failings as a parent. She's starting school in September 07.
What my children are fab at is imagination - they are both highly creative, and what I'm hoping you'll all say is that that's because they've been allowed to play and not been pushed!
