I will attach the link because I feel like it really puts into perspective the pressures that we put on kids and parents put on themselves and each other.
While I was perusing the internet I came across this article that was written by a preschool teacher. There was a parent that posted a note asking what her 4 year old should know. Many parents responded with where they think he/she should be or what their child can already do. For example count to 100 or print their first and last name. The response this teacher had was their child should know they are loved, know how to laugh, should know how to use their imagination. They should know they are brilliant, and creative. I found this article really intriguing. I feel that parents and society get so caught up on marks and aptitude and forget that children will learn at different rates. Children are amazing in their ability to learn and engage if they are given enough opportunity.
