What should a 4 year old know? This amazing article was on

A truly beautiful, thought-provoking article. Our kids get into the rat race too soon and are made to trundle along too fast, sometimes at a pace they cannot cope with. Stumbling, fumbling, attempting to run along, their own self-confidence and self-worth deteriorating... is this what we truly want for our kids??
Our kids DON'T need to know numbers, the alphabet, animals and their young and other kinds of text book knowledge even before they start school. As this article points out, they need to know that they're unconditionally loved, that they're safe and cherished, every step of the way.
Confident kids will be successful adults, no matter at what age they started to read or write or knew their planets.
This blog is an attempt to bring together in one place, all the things I think are worthy of our children's attention.
