Quote

The “wisdom” of forcing a child’s intellect has little basis either in research or in common sense. Usually, stimulating anything to go faster simply because it can go fast will merely insure an earlier breakdown. This is implicitly true whenever we try to rush nature, and it is especially true in the development of children. Children should be permitted to “unfold” as naturally as a flower.
