I prefer to stick to the basics, myself. If it doesn’t associate to the physiological or safety aspects of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, then it should be foregone in lieu of other training for the kids. Higher intellectual pursuits should only be taught after someone has a firm grasp on how to care for themselves physically.
It isn’t a higher intellectual pursuit. It is as basic and fun for him as finger painting. He is learning to play Checkers, trace his numbers and letters and play fun little games like Angry Birds and Air Hockey. The biggest problem is he and his sister never plug the thing in so the battery is usually dead.
“Higher intellectual pursuits should only be taught after someone has a firm grasp on how to care for themselves physically.”
That may be one of the dumbest things I’ve seen on FR in ALL my time here. :-O
You have just discounted EVERY child under the age of 4/5 years old from learning ANYTHING. What are earth are you thinking?
You are aware, aren’t you, that Maslow was a socialist?
