Patti: Most parents are eager for their preschoolers to learn as much as possible  However, instead of providing general opportunities for their children to learn, parents often direct their children' s learning to their own personal concerns  Because children have a natural curiosity and thirst for knowledge, they learn an enormous amount simply through growing and adapting to the world
Ttherefore, this type of directed learning is unlikely to improve a child' s preschool education
The type of directed learning in question is not a necessary part of the process of growing and adapting to the world.
