Let children be children, not experiments in the aspirations of parents and adults.
- Atreiden 5y agoSometimes children seek this kind of stimulation. I used to love trying to solve 'advanced' problems. Making new connections, i.e. "wow, so THATS why that is the way it is" were some of my favorite memories. I did Math Olympiad as a kid not because my parents pushed me - on the contrary - I pushed on them (and my teacher) to get into the program. Obviously it's not for everyone, but I personally I would have killed to have started learning the 'interesting' stuff earlier in my life.
- boringg 5y agoHow is this considered aspirations of their parents? One of the most thrilling things in life is to learn new skills and understand how the world works. My child loves to learn new things and is very excited when he does something new. I am sorry that you feel that way and maybe you personally did not like to learn new things. Don't cast your negative judgement on the enjoyment of others learning guised as "Just let kids be kids". You assume that people doing this are pulling a Beethoven's father or something. Check your assumptions.
- boringg 5y agoI'm also assuming here, but it does sound like you don't have children of your own.
