What a 4-year-old should know. (magicalchildhood.wordpress.com)

Responses:

And as you guys focus on what a four year old should know, I can freak out a little more that today is my daughter's 21st birthday. - pmb Aug 20, 11:39 4
- If anything, I think I've taken the "enjoy it while it lasts" TOO much to heart. - Dr.Vermin Aug 20, 11:57
- happy birthday to her!! -- nm - Don Homer Aug 20, 11:56 1
  - and this! Happy happy! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 20, 11:59
- yikes. -- nm - Andie Aug 20, 11:55
That's sweet, but I disagree with the flat statement about the best predictor being "reading to children". The studies I've read dispute that - landbeck Aug 20, 11:36 14
- Thank you, I hadn't heard of the marshmallow experiment! I love it! - Dr.Vermin Aug 20, 11:54
- Do not know about the whole, but in Bub's case it was instrumental. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 11:39 9
  - But from a statistical perspective, reading to kids is representative of a ton of other things, it is hard to single out the reading itself as the - landbeck Aug 20, 11:42 7
    - I see it as the act, inclusive of all the above. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 11:52
    - I think that was the whole point. A child who has parents that read to them is more likely to succeed than 1 that doesn't. - Jim Aug 20, 11:46 5
      - Both you and the article seem to be implying that there is no other way to get those benefits, though - con_carne Aug 20, 12:01 2
        
        Well, this original post is a link...but you've shit all over it. I can tell you from my experience as a father and as a Scout leader... - Jim Aug 20, 12:15 1
        
        Forgive me, but you are not making yourself clear - con_carne Aug 20, 12:21
      - no one's saying it's a bad thing but what it's saying is that it may not be a cause - Reagen Aug 20, 11:55 1
        
        Yes. I'm being picky about the wording of the article's recommendation to read to your child. I also recommend reading to your child! - landbeck Aug 20, 12:02
  - Word. -- nm - Jim Aug 20, 11:40
- Danger, Will Robinson. You are disputing Internet parenting dogma -- nm - con_carne Aug 20, 11:39 2
  - *unreferenced* Internet Parenting Dogma. -- nm - landbeck Aug 20, 11:40 1
    - that's the best kind! -- nm - znufrii Aug 20, 12:03
Perfect. Not to threadjack, but Bub got his first real grades (he had number grades in K, but these are real letter grades). - Spawn Aug 20, 11:34 4
- B+! B+! This isn't a B+ family! -- nm - spamlet Aug 20, 11:36 1
  - No, this is perfect. If it was all As, he would not understand. This way, he gets how the grades work and knows what he has to do. - Spawn Aug 20, 11:40
- But will he be loved unconditionally if he grows up to love DC? -- nm - con_carne Aug 20, 11:35 1
  - I mean Marvel -- nm - con_carne Aug 20, 11:35
well put. -- nm - znufrii Aug 20, 11:32
That's awesome. - Stephen Aug 20, 11:31
