How do early learners fare at school?

But there is something more which I understood just now.

If the child answers wrong, there is a moment of disappointment. Even if the tester does not say anything bad, for short moment child thinks that he is not good.
As more teaching, as more such moments when child thinks that he is not good enough for his parents. These moments accumulate in lower self-confidence.
In result, such early-educated kid has lower self- confidence than un-educated child of the same age. By default.

Very true, I was like that. I was an early learner (self taught),best student at school and always afraid to go even a notch down. I was so scared I would disappoint my dad, not that he ever conscientiously said anything.
Let’s be mindful of our kids’ feelings…
