Let’s qualify that - early childhood CARE - not “education.” We need to stop forcing early academic achievement and focus on family wellbeing.

Perhaps the one group that gained by being at home with family this year was the under 2 1/2 year olds.

Yes, but children don't need to be pushed into learning. My sister was determined to be "gifted." She was burned out before 12th grade.

True, but also the parents have the responsibility to instill good values in their children. Of course when they grow up they might do what they please, but at least they will remember they saw good principles in their parents, or parent

Children need love care dedication from their primary care givers. Attachment parenting works. my kid is brilliant, because I was WITH him 24-7 for the first 4-5 years of his life. It doesn’t have to be the mother but someone who loves the child more than anything.
