I didn't know what to call this post!
I have a just 3 year old who is very bright, can tell me most of his letter sounds (as learnt at home) and recognise numbers to 20. I don't have a problem with this, I can see his parents spend a lot of time teaching him stuff. But he often tells me something that is incorrect but he is adamant that it is correct because Mummy or Daddy has told him so. For example he says twenteen instead of twenty because apparently Mummy told him (after I told him it's twenty) that it can be twenty or twenteen. I carry on saying twenty with him trying to correct me! He does it with other things too with other children - for example my son is learning his phonics sounds at school in reception. My son says them as he's learnt them, and 3 year old he has been taught at home which don't tally up. What would you do?
