I have ...I find it hard to agree with this article. I have 5 yr old twins who start kindergarten in about 10 days. Their brains are more than ready for some learning and education. One of the two can read pretty well by himself, almost entire books, while the other is catching up. They can also write, spell a few words, add & subtract, and do several other kindergarten ready activities. I don't think its pressure cooker parenting, since I've had it pretty easy teaching them these things quite casually. And they always have more than enough time to play baseball, cycle, draw & color, play legos and all their other favorite toys. It all comes down to how much time parents are willing to spend with their kids. For those that don't, their kids will show up in kindergarten totally unprepared and unable to keep up with those that do.Myblogspanhttp://www.myblogspan.com/noreply@blogger.com
