Have just been to nursery parents' evening and was surprised to hear that the nursery manager insists that three-year-olds trace writing in their books.
Is it considered good practice to do this? I would have thought three-year-olds could be learning many other things (talking, running, playing, drawing, going to the loo, eating tidily, etc) and that writing could be left until after Reception, unless the child is asking to be shown?
What would your reaction be if this happened in your DC's nursery?
