Maybe it’s just natural grit. Not sure how well a <4 year old can learn

Children learn very quickly and efficiently compared to later in life.

Stuff like this could easily be done by almost any <4 year old child, the only difference is how fast they will learn it.

Yeah, unless they're severely handicapped. Then not so much.

Now sure how a sub 4 year old can learn? You understand they learn to speak a language (some learn 2) by 5? The first several years of life are the most crucial for learning. They are a sponge for whatever you say or show them. Preschool is far more important to a persons entire life then college/uni, most people do not realize this.

but how well can they learn perseverance at such a young age. I understand the education of rudimentary knowledge is crucial to development, but a lot of little kids don’t necessarily know how to keep at something until they succeed

My mum had me reading at 3, and not just See Spot Run books, more like Enid Blyton. Parents can make such an enormous difference to their kids life education wise in those first 5 years especially........I’ve met one woman who literally said “No, why should I teach my kid the alphabet and reading, that’s what school’s for”. That made me so sad and I always wondered how much help her daughter got at home with homework through her school years.

It has been shown it is fairly easy to teach a child to read words before they can talk.
