Why a four-year-old child could understand this report. Run out and find me a four-year-old child. I can't make head nor tail out of it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Children take in more information than we'd like to believe.
Children don't make judgments about which details are important... a child captures them all.
Kids know when you're pulling a fast one, storywise, and I think that even when they're being entertained, children want to hear the truth, just like adults do.
When given age-appropriate challenges, children tend to take them very seriously; in fact, the more obvious the risk is, the more cautiously a child will proceed.
It seems to me if you don't know anything about child development you shouldn't intimate in your 'reporting' that you do.
It is my desire to break the destructive generational cycle of illiteracy in the home by focusing on the children. Reading to your child has so much value as a parent because it opens the lines of communication.
I'm happy to report that my inner child is still ageless.
I think it is shocking that 15- and 16-year-olds leave school unable to add up and with the reading ability of a four-year-old.
I've got the brain of a four year old. I'll bet he was glad to be rid of it.
Give your kid some credit for being smart - just because they read about something doesn't mean they will do it.
