Wow that's amazing .. YouTube and games and daily living/life experiences are pretty much it for us as far as "learning," but my mother-in-law was in my ear for years criticizing what she perceived as lack in our home. And she constantly asks if the kids "have finished their studies for the day".. she went to nursing school in the Middle East and it was like very regimented and she talked it up to me about how amazing it was to have that daily discipline and structure. And I guess she doesn't see that in our home and it scares her. So her voice has really impacted my ability to "see" and enjoy all of the learning already happening here. She was just constantly upset and lecturing us for years. It is less now, but she still does it to my oldest when she's alone with him.
