There aren&#x27;t enough data points to claim it&#x27;s a universal pattern, but still, there do seem to be a lot of data points that suggest that cramming stuff into a child very early has all evened out by the time they are an adult.<p>It&#x27;s easy to forget, but 0-5 is, in terms of these advanced skills like &quot;reading&quot; (as opposed to &quot;understanding what my body feels like&quot;), not even 1&#x2F;4th of a childhood. There&#x27;s no way to stick a concrete number on it, but it&#x27;s probably less than 10%.<p>We have a lot of evidence that depriving a child of the basics of life can affect them all their life, but I am not sure I&#x27;ve ever seen a study that has ever supported the idea that it is beneficial to accelerate education at the toddler phase. It&#x27;s like trying to win a marathon by running really fast in the first 300 meters; unless you are going to be able to maintain that pace for the entire rest of the marathon, you probably haven&#x27;t accomplished much.
