However, time is not of essence anymore. Children are thus taught to read at a more tender age; introduced to the sciences and technical subjects in primary school; made to work at the rate set by teaching machines; and intellectually bombarded at the first sign of intelligence. Such a frenzied approach often confuses capacity with maturity. A child may well be able to read by age two or three, or understand electronics at seven or eight, but does he have the maturity to gain anything from his new knowledge at that age? Advocates of academic acceleration overlook the danger of separating intellectual from emotional and social attributes. Knowledge alone is not enough. One must also have a capacity for warmth and compassion, for creativity, reflecting and communication - attributes without which a man is no more than a talking robot. If, as parents, we want our children to grow up capable of love, sensitivity, tenderness and creativity, they must be permitted sufficient time to let things unfold at their own rate. Allowing children to enjoy childhood experiences to the full is the best preparation for becoming a mature adult.

I so fully agree. Childhood is so important and vital to a child's well-being!
haha sometimes kids just say the darnest things. Take my 5 year old brother for example, the way he says things sometimes just makes you wanna grab him and give him a tight squeeze. haha so cute, so cute.
Samantha: Aiyo, i got so much work to do. How, i think tmrw i cannot finish. How how... Aiya, so much work to do.
Samson: You must complain to the teacher! You must say, " What is your problem ah, why you give me so much work? What is the issue? You are the issue! Why you give me so much work?"
Moment of laughter
Samson: Then you take the paper aeroplane and...
Samantha: Throw it at the teacher?
Samson: Ya ya! Then all the other children will laugh!
Moment of laughter
Samson: Isn't that a good idea? Tell the teacher don't give you so much work!
Well, no offence to anyone, especially teachers.( and that is one of my career options )
Its just the way my brother said it really amused my sister and i. It was so innocently yet wittily said. I wonder where he got it from. Haha.
But Jesus said, " Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them. For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. " - Mark 10:14
