I have one of these. DeeDee I get what you are saying that Academic pursuits ARE "doing" that idea was poorly phrased I think. But my 99.9 barely 6yrl old would rather ponder the beauty of barren tree limbs against a delicate sunset (dreamily: "It's like art in the sky mummy...") than actively learn about fractals. At least for now. She's HG+ at dress ups and sand pit and then randomly comes out with these wow comments in the quiet moments between family chaos. She's contemplating her navel and the world at large and forming amazing connections. Not many of them to do with academic pursuit right now.
