This study examines the detrimental effects of early schooling on child development by analyzing empirical and theoretical evidence that questions the practice of starting formal education at an early age. The research investigates the negative impacts of premature academic pressure on children's cognitive, socio-emotional, and physical development. Through a comprehensive literature review, the study analyzes international research demonstrating how early schooling can compromise a child's natural development, interfere with neurological maturation processes, and undermine intrinsic motivation to learn. The results indicate that starting formal schooling early—particularly before the age of 6 or 7—can lead to lasting adverse consequences.
