I wrote to Nursery World three years ago on the subject of too much formal education too early. I made the point that my four-year-old son wasn't remotely interested in sitting still and learning anything, but he was very interested in turning cardboard boxes into Tracey Island. A year later, he went to school and, while he learned to read and write, he was hardly an enthusiastic pupil. He would still rather have been making things out of boxes and running around in the playground or park.
