NO! I didn't mean that you were hothousing! Not at all. Sorry for the miscommunication!
I was responding to your statement about tutoring sessions being common in your area and to this:
Is the milestones realistic or perhaps you are finding that today's society is introducing more to their children at an earlier age?
This (and the powerpoint in K) said to me IMHO that you're looking at people who are working hard to hurry their kids along.
I just meant that if society is pushing kids along in high-pressure ways, then that doesn't mean that the milestones should be moved forward. If a parents spends all day grilling a kid on colors, then the child will probably learn colors early. But at what expense? There's lots of other things the child won't learn and the child will probably end up with a bad attitude about learning to boot.
I was just trying to answer your question with my take on it. Nothing inflammatory! Honest!
