Parents are more focused on how their children develop academically, rather than allowing them to play, develop an imagination, and just plain have fun. Having said that, my son is going to kindergarten next year, and people have told me that I have a lot of work to do with him in regards to his academics before he will be ready to go. What should he HAVE to know before he goes? I'm not going to push Algebra on a 4 year old to get him into school.. I'm talking what he HAS to know.
He knows all his colors and can point them out. He can count to 20 and point out the numbers from 1-10 when asked. He can write his name, Mom, Dad, and his brother's name. He knows all his letters and can point them out when asked. He knows the shapes.. circle, triangle, rectangle, square, heart, oval, trapezoid, rhombus, octagon ( working on pentagon, hexagon and septagon ) .. and he can draw them all when asked. Is there anything else that he HAS to know? I'm not taking time from him being a kid.
