Q&A: Isn’t educating your baby important?
My son is 4 years old and just started Preschool. I think it’s very important for mothers if they have the time to read to their baby before 4 years old and educate their baby before their baby turns 4 years old. My son knows how to write a lot of letters and knows how to read a few words and can write his name, his best friend’s name, and daddy’s name. I don’t think my child is a genius, but I think educating your baby is an act of love and gives them a boost.
However, another mother I’ve become friends with who also has a 4 year old thinks that it’s unnecessary to educate a baby before the age of 4 because she says her husband is a genius and her and her siblings never got educated before school age and they are smart and successful. I think there is no right or wrong on this topic. My opinion is that some kids need that boost. Not everyone’s baby is born with a genius IQ or genius brain right!?
What is your opinion? What are most parents’ opinion?
What about those inner city kids that don’t get educated and they never get to go to college and barely graduate Highschool?
Is there a right or wrong on this topic or is it that every parent has a different opinion and parenting style?
my3sons- Did u read my question!? LOL!
my3sons- I love mothers who say “WTF” about nothing. LOL!

Babies brains are lot sponges… they soak up every thing. Yes, education is very important as the foundation is essential for the rest of it all…
Now, does it mean that children who arent educated will be less ’smart’ than those who are in the long run? Not necessarily, as you might provide a solid foundation, but her kids might pick up more in school and eventually they might find a point when they are at the same level, and then later years of schooling, her child might excell more so than your child, but Im always for being proactive.
The more you provide a child on education, the more solid their foundation to learn the rest of it.
As for inner city kids… there is too much going on to address why they dont end up in college as often as suburbin kids to try to answer that, but most of it has to do with the distractions outside of school vs. the education in school.
But, neither parenting decision is ‘wrong’ but I tend to side with you… its important to educate your child before school. That why most of the toys and games I provide my neice are education based as her mom and grandma tend to want to ’spoil’ her with stuff but dont think about her education as much.

it is, we plan on putting our baby in early head start from birth until 3 where they come work with her 1 a week and we will work with her when they are not. i was a very smart kid as was my husband because we were worked with alot and the earlier you start with them the better.

I think it’s very important. In fact, I’ve read a lot about this subject and I strongly believe that the earlier you start educating, the better. Children learn best while they’re very young, while their minds are still developing. I don’t have any children yet, but when I do, I plan to take advantage of this and begin teaching them as soon as I can.
I’m not going to sit here and tell you i’m right though. I may be totally wrong. I know plenty of people who are intelligent and never had any sort of extra educational attention. So, I don’t think there is a right or wrong answer to this question.
Answer by my3sons
I thing you should be reading and teaching your kids at home, too. My son started preschool last year (3 year old preschool) and his friend didn’t go. Now they go to 4 year old preschool together and his mom said he can’t write anything and has no letter identification. What are you doing with your kid if they haven’t even picked up on any of those things? Most of their toys have abc’s, reading books, even television shows teach that stuff to kids preschool aged. So WTF are you doing with your kid if they haven’t picked up on any of it?

Good for you!
The key words to focus on are “I THINK it’s very important….”
Yeah, YOU THINK. How about you worry about your own child and stop being such a prissy busy body?
