I am the type of parent who focuses more on life skills than academics especially with a toddler. Children in my opinion will eventually learn their alphabets and numbers. But discipline focus and doing your work are habits that need to be inculcated. This is why I try to engage my toddler in 'real world' work as much as possible. From putting away the dishes to sorting the laundry I let her help me and even do things independently. One thing that I like to do with her is cooking. I want her to have a healthy outlook towards food
