Starting 4+ prep at 18 months of age V starting at 3 years of age.

I was speaking to a friend yesterday. She also supports children with their 4+ assessments. She said something to me that really made me stop and think. She said something along the lines that we can sometimes take out knowledge for granted and assume that parents simply know.

I thought about her comment all night long!

She is right. There are many times that I think certain things and then I will think that my clients already know what I’m thinking about. Why would they?

They are not experts in 4+ assessment preparation. If I don’t tell them, how will they ever know?

This is why I pay a huge amount of money to have an accountant. I am not an expert in tax planning, book keeping and financial reporting. This is why I pay a huge amount of money to have a financial advisor. I am not an expert in retirement planning, investment management and insurance and protection. I could go on…

So from now on I am going to speak more about what is on my mind and not just assume that my clients and my potential new clients know what I’m thinking!

So here is is for you. The main difference I notice between starting 4+ prep at 18 months of age V starting at 3 years of age.

And it may surprise you.

It has nothing to do with being more prepared.

It has everything to do with my students having a deep love for learning when they start from as early as 18 months.

You see so many of you are of the belief that your child is ‘too young’ and that your child ‘will just get it later’! And I’m sorry to shatter your illusions but this is simply not true.

The early years are a fundamental age for our children. They are truly the years where we can accelerate their learning.

The children who have now been with me for 12-18 months and who are preparing for their 4+ for 2027 entry are hungry to learn, they soak it all up. They are excited for me to come onto the screen to greet them. They are delighted to tell me about their day and to answer all of my questions and at the end of my lessons, they ask me to stay. They are sad for me to leave them.

That’s the difference.

And I don’t say this to make anyone feel bad at all. We all have different life situations and we can’t always control when we start to do something. However, if I can help future clients to understand the importance of starting early then I have achieved something spectacular.

I will be talking about it a lot more.
