I cannot imagine trying to do workbooks with a preschooler. I'm trying to make sense of why others would want to do that.
I really think this has more to do with personality. Just to be fair, there a few people on this board whose toddlers do workbooks and seemed to enjoy them and I would hate to offend them by implying that it is yet another 'hothousing' example. Not saying this is what you were implying but it could come off that way. I, personally, see nothing wrong with workbooks, so long as the toddler enjoys doing them. My DD doesn't and would rather do other things. If she enjoyed them then I would happily buy them for her and let her go to town on them. But for TT's question of guilt, etc ... nothing to be guilty about if your DD isn't interested. She will have plenty of time to experience worksheets when she gets into school.
