i was driving my dad's bulldozer at 5..... considering i was sitting in his lap, but none the less i knew how to work the gears and which way they went and what they did.


IMO i think it would depend on the child, 2 months into this maybe a bit too soon, especially if she can barely count or understand her numbers...

i think in one way this would benefit.....if she's under lets say 70 or less then she may need to tell the teacher to get a nurse instead of walking to the nurses office or let the teacher carry her there (if needed)


but i agree with everyone else on her learning and managing as early as her brain and understanding allows her



for instance... i was always really really good with my toys as far as taking care of them, not tearing them up etc (bad example but gets the point across) **most** kids like to tear them up not put them up, and you have to basically yell at them for not taking care of them etc...

i had to start wearing glasses when i was in third grade, I wanted to wear contacts instead later on like in 5th grade. My mother said I wasnt ready for them as i might not take care of them (i could have done it in 5th grade but she refused) I clearly remember taking care of thing really good and not doing anything wrong. so this was a case that earlier wasnt necessarily a bad thing.....



i guess my point is i could have done it, but other kids the same age would have been careless and disregarded the instructions
