No, not at all pushy just going off experience. Maddie was bored rigid for her final preschool year and quite unhappy, she got to a point where she really wasn't interested in going in. All she wanted to do was find out more about school. Being challenged isn't just a case of reading and writing, but it is slightly more than watching TV and letting them play with dolls.

Zack was the same and was starting to get bored. So I moved him and now he's in with a mixed year group, half of whom are older than him and he's happy again. My only regret is that I didn't fully recognise what was going on with Maddie and I left her in an environment that wasn't right for her during that final year.

You know me and you should know that my two children are the most important people in my life. They are both quite bright and want to learn new stuff every day. I don't think I'm being pushy by providing stimulation for them, I'm trying to cater for their needs.
