When is the ideal age for a child to start schooling? Many parents enroll their kids to school even before they are 4 years old. Is it really necessary to start early or should they start later.

Children shouldn't start their schooling so early. If they start to go to school too early, they would miss out their wonderful childhood. Many parents send their children for tuition class, drama class dan so on because they think that children should learn as many skills as possible so that they can be competitive to the other people when they have grown up. However, actually, most of the parents have forgotten about their children's psychomotor, cognitive and affective developmental which are equally important.
