2 year olds learn so much about the world, learning to read that early will not do as much as parents expect. Let 2 year olds learn and be exposed to things children of that age normally do, sure an early start here and there is okay. But please do not set high expectations for them and first and foremost, let them play a lot. This obsession with getting them ahead of their peers could backfire, they may later feel alienated from their peers, be misfits in their age group and so on. When the circumstances bring along and when the child gravitates toward early intelectual pursuits let it be as it is of their own choosing.
