Young children's brains aren't developed sufficiently to build these skills. Even a lot of high schoolers have difficulty with it. It's largely taught in post-secondary education because by then, the brain has matured enough to handle the cognitive load.
- greedo 5y agoTell me you haven't raised kids without saying you haven't raised kids. Mine have been critics since before they could speak.
