Have a question about teaching toddlers
Hi, yesterday I started a new game with Medina household in Isla Paradiso. I asked Theodore teach to talk to Palmira. It took about 3 days except for feeding and sleeping time. Is that normal? When I ...

^^Wish it didn't have to be this way. It would be awesome if toddlers who never learned how to walk, talk, or potty because no one could be bothered to teach them or they were always in foul moods for whatever reason were to grow up into children, teens, and YAs who don't know how to do these things either.
(carries new sig other into meet family, since they cannot walk on their own yet) "Hi everyone, meet the new love of my life! Have some patience with them, they haven't quite learned everything the rest of us more advantaged sims have early in life and there are going to be some awkward oopsie moments!"
Significant other: "Ookie-goo!" (and other forms of baby talk)
In much the same way, many of us think that teens who never learned how to drive shouldn't grow up into adults who instantly and instinctively know how. Err, that's not how it works where I come from.
I would also really like to see a Logic Level 10 grown sim formally tutoring (lecturing) other adults on how to use bathroom facilities properly instead of teaching them useless things like science and logic. They could even have Uni level classes on the subject. Not sure I really want to see the object practice sessions on the off-lecture days, though. :)
Okay, but more seriously now. There is one other thing that can affect toddler learning rates, although it's across the board and a bit more obscure. If NRaas Relativity is in play, there are options to throttle or enhance skill gains that many of us who play longer life spans prefer to use. The skills listed that have adjustable skill gain factors include the three hidden toddler skills. Some players might change all of the factors (by selecting them all at once) to something less than 1 so that gains take longer to achieve without realizing they are picking up the toddler skills that way too.
