Hello, so here in this question, we're told that there's definitely a very much of an emphasis in the western culture, but perhaps everywhere that learning earlier is better.
00:13
So is it true that earlier, is it true that earlier is always better? and there can be some discussion on this, but i think, i mean, this is not necessarily true.
00:28
So we are asked here, does a child who learns to walk at, let's say, nine months, walk better? than a child who learns to walk at 13 months.
00:37
And no, i think the answer to that is definitely no.
00:41
I think children are going to mature at their own rate.
00:46
And everybody doesn't mature at the same rate.
00:49
So not everyone matures or learns, for that matter, at the same rate.
01:08
Now, is it beneficial to many people to learn things earlier, especially when it comes, let's say, reading and math.
01:17
And, well, yes, to an extent, right, children do develop a lot of various skills, so reading skills and math skills are very early in life.
01:28
So the moment they're born, right? babies began to form these ideas about math through their everyday experiences and really most importantly through their interactions with trusted adults.
01:41
So how we talk to infants and toddlers about ideas, especially when it comes to math, is going to be very important.
01:52
But we're asked here in this question, so how might an emphasis on early learning potentially have a negative impact on a children's learning? and again, according to mouch -ceneres.
02:09
So having, again, if a student, let's say, i mean, people come from many different backgrounds.
02:15
And if somebody maybe has had a, you know, potentially a very, maybe traumatic childhood, right? maybe, you know, they didn't have loving parents or there's many different, i mean, things that could have happened.
02:31
Right...
