I totally agree! Kids are like sponges – they will absorb it all. I think it’s so important to enjoy the time while they’re small and not give into all the pressure to have them perform.

Wouldn’t it be great if there were classes for parents on how to play and just have fun with your children???
I have that Einstein… book, too, and it’s great!. One thing I got out of it was “how” to talk to your children to foster learning.
I talk to my children A LOT in Spanish and I believe that is one reason they are successful in their bilingualism even when their father is not a Spanish speaker.
Thank you for this post.
