In this episode, Ashleigh discusses the growing trend of early academic learning and the implications it has on child development. She argues against the push for earlier schooling, emphasising the importance of play, attachment, and emotional readiness. Ashleigh highlights the economic motivations behind these educational policies and questions whether they truly serve the best interests of children. The conversation explores the challenges children face in early schooling environments and advocates for a more thoughtful approach to early childhood education.
