Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Forced teaching or "hothousing" is when an adult accelerates a child's learning without taking into account their curiosity and interest. This method can be harmful to a child's development as it may lead to burnout, stress, and a lack of creativity or problem-solving skills. It is not the preferred method for encouraging formal operational thinking.
