Shouldn't a nearly 4 year old know their colors?

@Fernie yea, i know they do, I just feel like its time. It worries me too because their sibling is falling behind in school.

@iamnikki not alll children.

Former preschool teacher and early childhood education major here.

Children learn at their own pace.

Of course exposure early can speed things up but knowing a few colors and numbers at 4 is normal and the more it is practiced the better but nothing is wrong with your neice and you are being irrational and sticking your nose where it does not belong. Neice or not she is not your child.

@SW-User How do we know the parent is not active? Do the parents work? Feed and cloth the child? Care for her. Roof over her head. Stahhhhp

@JaggedLittlePill I know she isn't my child, that is what the word "niece" implies. I have every right to be concerned about my niece. Any caring aunt would be. Concerned as in, "she should have been taught" not as in " something is wrong with her". I do not care if you are education major or not.

@ProdigalSummer well it isnt my child

@iamnikki i kind of assumed it wasn't.

@MrsKatherineArch probably not. Their other child is failing 5th grade. I think that says something.

@iamnikki Well, I hope the child gets some assistance

@MrsKatherineArch so do i

@Peaceful what I was going to say

My son knew his alphabet at 18 months and was reading very early. But they only learn if you put the effort in

@Terrance it's really the only question. :)

@Peaceful sure but it isnt my child. Its not my job to teach it.
