Hashem, however, feels that very young children should not be introduced to formal education. Even at four, when a child starts learning numbers and vocabulary, the syllabus should be very simplified, with an emphasis placed on verbal communication. They should not punish a child for being slow or unable to grasp information and answer questions. That would definitely frustrate the child and breed a long-lasting hatred of school. Nor should a pre-school child be introduced to writing, Hashem insists.
Writing is a complicated technique.
