Each and every family has a different approach to teaching, and while some rely on rote-learning for example, others are considerably more hands-on.
One very precocious toddler, whose family clearly subscribe to the school of thought that you learn by doing, has divided opinion online this weekend as footage emerged which showed her delivering a lamb.
Displaying an unmistakable air of practicality and determination, Lily takes instruction from the woman filming the event and appears unconcerned by the delicate nature of the entire process.
Pragmatic and determined, Lily, wearing a rep apron and matching jumper, delivers a lamb with little to no fuss in footage which has utterly divided social media users in recent days.
While many applauded the child's sensible approach and paid tribute to her parents' decision to expose her to farm life at such a young age, others questioned whether the process was too much for a young child to understand let alone be involved in.
Celebrating the toddler's achievement, one YouTube user wrote: "God damn. Lily you're a badass. I'm proud of you" while another gushed: "Three-years-old and doing that so diligently. That's incredible."
However, not everyone was as impressed by the footage which was uploaded to YouTube on Friday, with some members of the public slamming the video as 'disgusting'.
Why not take a look and decide for yourself?
