sharon, evelyn,
gabe also used 2 sleep abt 11-12pm. abt 1mth back, i cut his evening nap...tat is, if he wakes up abt 4-5pm fr his 2nd nap for e day, i wont let him nap again at 6-7pm. it usually isnt hard 2 keep him awake cos i'm either out so he's busy looking around or we r at my mum's plc so my parents/sister will entertain him. abt 8-9pm, he'll b sleepy liao...so gabe knocks out abt tat timing nowadays.
puff,
i'll tell u over e phone abt my MIL. i've shared wif 1-2mummies here but cant recall who.
medusa,
puff's 1yr older than u, sharon's younger than u.

shichida...
tis is wat i know abt shichida...GF shared her story wif me.
my GF sent her son 2 shichida when he was 18mths (he's now 8yrs old) for abt 2-3yrs (b4 he went 2 nursery). she also bought GD cards at home for him. after spending thousands $$$ over 2-3yrs, her boy is now in pri2, still needs tuition cos he *lazy* 2 do homework.
my GF felt tat shichida isnt worth e $$ cos her son is indeed very intelligent 2 learn stuff, etc when he was younger (his vocabulary/language skills is excellent) BUT she often wonders if it was shichida or it's merely bcos her son is indeed intelligent.
now she has a 8mths old bb girl, she's not planning 2 send her to shichida (she also advised me not 2 waste $$) n she wanna c if there's any difference bet her 2kids in terms of studying.

sharon, aiyo, I made u think my hb dun buy me anything ah? Thats not what I mean, its just that he wont go n buy me a BAG on his own, cause I v choosy and hard to please abt bags so he scared buy liao I dun like (or act like I like but actually dun like LOL!) Aiyo he'll be v heartbroken if anyone thinks this way of him cause he bears to spend on me more than he bears to spend on anything else (including himself and Faye) actually
. BUT HOR, I beri zi4 dong4, I dun anyhow spend $. And at times when I overshot (like last month! faye sick I beri stressed, so went for alot of retail therapy mah ) I will sure compensate (like this month!) by under-spending.

Berry,
About that method of learning ..have yet to see it actually carry into when the kid is in Pri/sec school. I personally think it is quite "hogwash" as those material/etc can be suplemented by cheaper versions which are equally effective. Also certain things that they focus on ( like different type of birds - glend domain style) I find is totally useless to know ..unless you are a avid bird lover . I rather teach the kids the name/function of basic household stuff- mechanics of items that are used on a daily basis etc.
err ladies...Berry one of the youngest here... she is even younger then me

Ryan eating by himself today
FLASHCARDS
this just my personal opinion at the moment hor - i don't think i will use as a tool to teach luke how to read, do maths and have encyclopedic knowledge (i'm referring to GD, dunno much abt shichida). they appear to be successful, but i prefer luke to learn via a hands-on approach, through play, to foster creativity and independent learning. memorisation is an important skill but should not be over-emphasised i feel...schools now are apparently moving away from rote learning (dunno how effective lah).
what do the rest of the mummies think? i'm interested to know!
berry
hehe, didn't know that those skills you mentioned don't last past the age of 6. where you read fr ah? i also want to find out!

FLASHCARDS
fruitcake, similar! Like I shared w you before, thats pretty much why I am not making use of flashcards too. I'm concentrating more on skills that will see Faye through the school years, cultivating her thirst for knowledge, self-motivating interest in books/things around her, concentration skills, etc- that explains why I actively encourage her to explore alot. I feel that a child armed with these skills will surely not be lacking in knowledge. Also, I guess I am not very keen on the concept behind the flashcards method, which is feeding info(child passively absorbs), as opposed to child-led learning (led by curiosity and interest).
I'm sure flashcards are good and definitely useful in their own way (child absorbs info when cards are flashed, hence the info is registered), so it pretty much depends on everyone's personal opinion.
EDIT TO ADD ON ABOUT MEMORY SKILLS- this is what I think for NOW (if I read more later on, maybe something might change my mind?). I am abit skeptical about flashcards aiding memory skills because below the age of 6 a child absorbs everything anyway, so actually our bbs are memorising everything everyday- like name of objects/people, location of objects ard the house, how to manipulate their limbs to get certain things done, and hundreds more! So if they are intro-ed to flashcards, its simply one more thing in additional to the hundred things they are memorising daily. Just that flashcards are probably engineered in such a way to maximise their absorbing ability (which is why the size of cards/words matters, the colours of the cards etc?)? So how does it 'train' their memory skills then?
Very interesting topic this is! Mummies/Daddy please contribute!

fruitcake,
U r rite. Schools r indeed moving away from rote learning. In fact memorising of facts r no longer the emphasize, but rather the application of concepts learnt. So i wonder, if a child is trained to memorise, will their little minds be flexible enuf next time to apply wat they learnt to different situations?
berry,
Wah piangz... *faintz* u still wanna look younger? U're oredi BERI YOUNG!!! I can't apply for leave on Kieran's bday cos i have to attend a course. Sianz... but i tink it's okie lah, cos i'm celebrating his bday jus the weekend b4 his actual day
Actually oso dunno wat to do or where to go on his bday leh. Zoo we went liao. Beach oso went b4, shopping ctrs all the time...where else can we go? hmm...
yuru, why, pcs,
I hope Xin Hui gets into finals. She was great jus now whereas Kelly paled in comparison. I hope JY will get in too
chihiro,
Was it u who asked me to post a pic of my thermos flask? Must wait till weekend cos it's now wif nanny. It comes home to me together wif Kieran

Berry,
I hope i made a right choice though i knew that learning those encyclopedia, its kind of useless if we dont go thru with the child everyday. By the age of 6, think they wont remember most of the words. But if a child is train to read more, learn more vocab, n 'i am really into the learning of maths', one day in school, it might help them. But of coz, we parents have to 'work' n help them learn. That is why shichida request mummy to be in the classrooms. Anyway, that my opinion. Its actually ME. As i am a working mum, i find that i cant be with my gal n teach her everyday. So with more programs(which we had none beside shopping, which she understand / recognise the words), i might intro more things into her life. ok, its just something to make me less guity of not providing her more...(eg. she dont have playroom, dont have mummy 24hr care, etc)

whew, finally!!! me using dial-up so e page takes damn long 2 load. i can now read e posts in e thread...definitely cant refresh cos gotta wait for damn long.
sulivyn,
not 2 pour cold water on u...i;m sure shichida has its success stories if not it wont b so popular.
teaching bb
husband n i prefers a hands-on method too. tat's y gabe touches everything we can let him lay hands on from durians (his middle left finger bled cos he dunno it's sharp) 2 honeydew (which he dun fancies) and other stuff such as veg, items in e hse, how they work, etc.
right now, gabe knows where i keep his cheese, yoghurt, frozen food cubes (e cold stuff), he knows where his toys r, where his daddy spends time in e hse, where e fish tank is, where he baths, etc.
wat i meant by gabe knowing where e stuff is or where he shld do wat is bcos he likes 2 walk abt e hse now. when i told him tat i wanna bathe him, he walks all e way into e bathroom (wif me holding onto him of course), pulls down e tub n sits next 2 it (as if waiting for me 2 take off his clothes). a few days ago, when he's playing in his nursery, i asked if he likes 2 hv some cheese. when i wanna run off 2 get his cheese, he cries & wanna follow so i held him, letting him guide me 2 e fridge.
as for teaching maths, i merely start by showing him, "1 apple + 1apple equals 2apples". i havent go beyond 2apples, 2 bowls, 2 spoons, etc.
i did buy blank flashcards, intending 2 make some myself but NEVER got round 2 doing it.
at gabe's kindermusik class, we were taught 2 label everything in e hse so tat our bbs can identify e items in hse. when we teach bbs e items, we also explain/show its function. i'm now thinking of using e blank flashcards 2 do so...
TBL,
thks! i got ur mail. nat is so cute, wif her chubby cheeks & almond-shaped eyes

Ryan doesn't make such a mess when feeding but will only feed himself for a while then he gets tired and wants you to feed him.

A bit disappointed wif the result. XH definately sings better. Well its just a game no need to get so work up and I believe that JY and XH will be signed by the recording company too. Just look at slyvester.
BTW I really admire the young pple nowadays. Wah Liao can declare their love on National TV.

Kelly,
Like gap, nat last time will take a short nap at 7-8pm and wake up at 9+. Now she oso skip this nap but she still wun sleep early leh
. Got a few times she fall asleep at 9-10pm, i tot HO SEAH LIAO, she is sleeping early but.... guess wat....., she wake up at 11pm
. Alamak, when she wake up at this hr, she is super Jing1 Shen2. The earliest i can put her to sleep is 12+
. Sometimes she will protest when i put her on her bed and has to be carry out to living room again. So now i dun take the risk anymore on wkday. I will make sure she dun fall asleep at 9-10pm and the earliest she can sleep is 10.30pm.

Flashcards,
I think they allow absorption of words (recognition) faster than reading books. Neither can replace each other, I'd still read books and flashcard simple words lor. Particularly flashcard her chinese name- wahbiang, so many strokes very difficult to write, I can't even remember how to write it myself!

Flashcards around the house,
I wanted to do that long time ago..but end up only having 2 stuck - Door and Fan..the others chair/table/cupboard, sofa etc ended up being taken down from its place by Ryan..so no point to stick. so stick to flashing picture cards to him.
MT,
Tena will recognise her name but to be able to write it out properly will take another 3-4yrs. Coz they will only learn how to use a pencil properly to write at abt 3yrs old.

Tena will recognise her name but to be able to write it out properly will take another 3-4yrs. Coz they will only learn how to use a pencil properly to write at abt 3yrs old.

recognise gd enough liao, if flashcards can help her gain faster recognition of words (in turn when reading books she can hopefully recognise same words).
Once u recognise, then can remember... then when the fine motor skills are there for writing, can hopefully learn to write same words easier.
But I'm not diligent in "flashing" . LOL.
