re: trio
if there is no linking memory and speed reading, like not very holistic leh. I always find linking memory very important though my kids dun like to play with it yet.
As for pretend play, that is done in any playgroups who may not focus on brain stimulation.
Flashcards is a part of most brain stimulation class and easily done at home. hmm.. like no incentive to go for trio class hor.
For teacher quality, I also feel doubtful. I guess when a center first started, their teacher quality sure not bad. But as time goes by and teacher left, etc, then quality starts to deteriorate. SM faces the same problem... I am sure at first the teacher quality should be quite good.

MTDT,
I think its may be because at this age, they still dunno how to play the linking memory effectively. I struggle with S on the linking memory also. But I think its one of the best memory game and if the kids master it, truly improves memory. I think this is part of the Tony Buzan concept also. I intend to re-introduce to him in time to come when he is more ready.
So r u going for Trio for Zav?

lyn,
thanks for asking
J had shown improvement. Nowadays she is trying to verbalise her request for food. Instead of just using gesture, she now will try to say out her requests at times. Her spoken vocabulary increases a lot as in her ability to name things. We no longer find her eye contact a problem at all. And because the occupational therapist also did not manage to find major concern in our visit to her, my hb decide to defer therapy session to observe her more. We are putting in effort to read to her, give her flashcards, talk to her more and encourage her to talk. In a few months, when its finally her turn to go to the recommended occupational therapist, we will go and get another round of assessment.
In terms of understanding and learning, she is on target. She knows her 1-20, A-Z, phonics. And understand when I asked her to do things for me. Her tantrum problem improves recently as she tries to verbalise her request more often. So I think right now it seemed that her main/only issue I can see is the speech delay and her speech may not be very clear. We are still working on it.... hopefully reading to her more will help. I re-organise the collection of books in my house to make it easily accessible to them and now the kids read much more.

mtdt,
ya actually same here, after I consider Trio and SM, still feels that home practise is the best and most cost effective
At least we can select activities catering to the child's interest.... so now we try to do more reading, more puzzles, matching, flashcards at home. S spends a fair bit of time playing Logico and Noddy fun book set.
Do u intro the Noddy set to Zav? I wonder if its age appropriate for me to do it with J?

poohy - i did intro noddy to zav... but he only wld do selected pages. 
i also only show those pages tat i think he could do to him. he was quite enthus abt playing with the noddy set
then at home, i also do sawako, speedreading, puzzles, reading, threading, spooning, etc. thinking next to intro mazes to him.

can u share how u all do ur LM? i think it's a really good technique too. Somehow, i'm more convinced by it than ESP, speed reading etc. I'm doing it wif my ger at home too using the same mtd that her bishan SM teacher uses. But somehow cos of the limitations due to age, need to modify. So not really know if i'm on the rite track.

poohy,
I am sticking to SM. There's no pull factors for me to go over to Trio
Though my friends are partners there, but they are not the teachers. Though they are very good, but I dunno how they are going to contribute to their "customers"
I am thinking of sending my two gals to SM too. I am not very disciplined to do everything at home. I only do flashcards and flashcards.
Today, I brought them to the library! Finally A can sit beside me and read through a few books! Phew...
Yes, reading is part of taijiao. In fact, it is very good tiajiao. Before you start reading, imagine the baby inside will be listening and absorbing all the knowledge too
Imagine the baby also receives the images of pictures that you see. Imagine the baby also reading the words that you are reading
mtdt,
tomolo I going Orchard meet friends for lunch. After that, got some time to go shopping before JG. kekeke... Maybe I go Borders beo
sunflower,
I dunno... I am still comfortable at SM
I dun really deal with the management... So management sucks does not matter to me. Only the teacher matters to me
mtdt,
Wah.. dun have so many things ah... hahaha... I got no time to chat on the phone with my friends to find out more...
mspiggy,
Congratulations on your healthy baby!
KOng,
I wash and sterilise separately. Then assemble after sterilising. I seldom use it though
muffinmocha,
Oops... what flexi 3 hours? What's the difference? I want daily 3 hours kind.
poohy,
I wanna send my ABC to SM is mainly for speed reading, ESP, photographic memory, linking memory... I dun need flashcards and motor skills development.
Wow! J seems to be developing leaps and bounds now! Well done! Way to go, J! I believe with all your flashcards efforts, she knows a lot of vocabulary already, just dunno how to verbalise yet. I really believe so... Give her some time to be able to speak, then she will become a super smart gal already. Maybe give her some hard food to chew too. Chewing train the tongue and hence speech.
mtdt,
High five! I hate linking memory too! hahaha... A also dun like But lately, his daddy focusing on that during class, and his daddy bring him for classes now, so he's more interested now.
KOng,
Wah... your gals are so pretty! Tod K is so sweet...

sunflower,
think the BambinoLuk is for 3-5 years old. The tile is bigger and of course difficulty is also at that level. MiniLuk is smaller tile and for bigger children (more difficult).
Bambinoluk comes with set 1 to 3 and a controller. The BP price is for set 1 to 3 with controller
re: LM
ya i think Kite should give us a tuition on how to make our kids do LM. headache over that too... I myself cant really remember the story not to mention recite it for the kids. And normally the kids would be messing up the cards.
lyn,
thanks... ya I hope J will continue to improve. In the meantime we will try to read more to her and talk to her
thanks for the tips on tai jiao, will definitely try that.... teach 2 kids at the same time
toto,
ya school helps a lot too. I mean its better than sitting at home. Btw, the school is having rounds after rounds of hfmd chain. J is at home for the rest of 4 days this week... cos the PG class got 2 hfmd case and she got an ulcer yesterday.
it must be so nice for J to meet his daddy
kong,
nice pictures

sunflower,
to me not much diff.
Logico got matching exercises, maths/counting, etc I think its abt the same type of activities as Noddy. The main diff of course is the controller is different
Logico u gotta match the answer to the colour button. For noddy is matching to the number tile. I think BambinoLUK also similar stuff
to me not much diff.

ic.... so
BambinoLuk is similar to Noddy, in terms of using tiles.
Logico, needs to control movement of buttons?

LM:
Eh...i m not a good teacher leh, dun stress me heehee....frankly speaking, there is no special technique leh. I follow what sensei did in class....Its really depends on your child's interest level, if not, it really difficult to settle down. My ger was very interested in LM. But recently, my girl feels bored and not easy to get her settle. probably i practise e same set with her for too long...Now gg to change other ways, new set or temp take a break...
She is able to recite 50 cards by herself think in 1 minute though i hv never really time her. Yes most important, both mother n child must remember e story well n both must be in good mood. my girl is able to remember e story. sometimes she wil forget 1 card n i wil use e story (maybe 1 to 2 words) to hint her n able to link it back by herself again...and i think she is using her right brain to link it naturally n she can do it faster than me...
U know e Memory board selling at Popular, u can use tat for LM as well...Last time i used to create funny story n played w her...
Sunflower, poohy:
For logico, i didnt use the board, just use finger to point n play....Later stage then wil introduce e board....else she will keep playing w e buttons instead of e game.

toto,
It takes lots of energy. I gonna make it a point to visit the library on Wednesday. Tues and Thurs JG. So left Mon and Fri. Take it easy on Mon and Fri
Maybe some excursion on Mon or Fri. Cannot keep them at home too much. I think my maid cannot cope with the ironing already. hahaha... everyday go out. Soon, I will need another maid to help her with housework. Only problem is no more space for another one... Nowadays, we eat out, so no need to cook and wash.
mtdt,
I will go borders after lunch. Going lunch at Forum later
About 3pm. What time will you be there?
poohy,
When can start logico? I bought a set. The first page of the first book I took out almost torn, but still dunno the logic.
Last weekend, went for lunch with my friend. Her son was playing this tile thingy. Seems interesting. Something like logico, but in tiles form. I think A interested in putting tiles than moving the buttons.

I think it depends on the child. S needs coaching doing the logico and I dun let him handle the page (scared he tear it... still gotta pass down to didi and meimei). I had not tried it with J yet... maybe will try it later. Has SM introduce the noddy pages for A? I remember S was doing noddy pages at 2 year old class. But they dun use tile. they zap the page and then make small little cards with velcro instead of tiles.
