S Where as if your child is more of the thinks-great-thoughts-but-needs-help-with-the-basic-facts type, then you may actually need to do work with them to enable the progress they want to make - which might then leave you wondering if those hot housing accusations are justified.
YES! This is my DS1!
And we wants to learn but can't tell me what he wants to do. I would feel a lot less worried if he asked me to teach him to add, than if he is just acting up or seeking stimulation from TV and so I SUGGEST learning to add.
The real question here is why is teaching a young child his colors considered hothousing but teaching him to use a fork isn't? Teaching him to use the potty or throw a ball is fine, but teaching him to do addition is not.
Parents are expected to teach, but only acceptable things that "typically" developing children should do.
Ooooh goood question! That is very true. What about all those who hot house pleases and thank yous? :p
