Via Kottke, some calming words for parents of young children. The author was motivated to write them by the hypercompetitive and overstressed comments she saw from other parents in response to one mother's query about what her 4 1/2 year old should know.
Were I a parent I might not follow all of the advice, but the core principles for parents seem pretty wise: accept that your kids will learn at their own pace, and make more time to be with them. If you actually play with them, they'll pick up a lot.
