How to not hamper a bright kid


Hi all. I’m after advice from anyone, but early educators’ input particularly welcome.I have a nearly 3 yr old daughter who is quite bright. Not, like calculus/translating Rosetta Stone level or anything, but she counts to 100, backward from 20, and can read simple words like dog, cat, bus etc.Anyhow, her latest thing is those wipe-clean ‘learn to write’ books. But of course, she doesn’t want to do the boring ones where you learn to write letters properly. She just wants to write words. And, of course, the way she makes the letters is not right. She might start at the bottom, or on the right.Now, I’m not one for hothousing, I think kids should be kids. But equally I don’t want her to learn habits that might be hard to get rid of at school. Should I be correcting her? Or can I just let her get on with it? via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2OgxMkJ
