Jelly, i confess, I too am ks mommy at work... These thoughts and questions abt flashcards came abt when i saw nickypower's video on fb. Hahahah.... Abt lf, I am for ordering online as the items i want are less than USd10 and with the discount code I am pretty sure i will pay not more than $25 for each item. But Angela is selling close to $40 for the items on her webbie.
Karen, yes leapfrog is indeed one of my tools for teaching her phonics! Lets make the chinese cards!! I shall ask my cl teacher aunt for help to print the words. Let's start with a list 10 to 20 words? I am happy to pass to mummies to photocopy when ready to DIY our own chinese flashcards! When we come up with the list so i will just do english words too so my own billingual immersion programme at home! hahahah...
Nickypower, do u buy precut blank flashcards or did u just get cardboard?

not sure, really. but just now mousebb posted. can b v high. anything from $10-$25. for reference, u can go and take a look at the spree threads of past spree by people like OCEAN. it varies. a bit of a heng/sua situation cos we cannot control e way LF pack the boxes. i may attempt to order base on products.

R & R, I think it might be hard for jelly to estimate. U can maybe peek at the ongoing LF sprees on overseas spree threads for a rough gauge. That is what i did.
JJmom, I let watch Miki watch tv... she loves and learn from the shows. In the beginning i was also worried abt the effects of tv. But now that i see her learning from the shows. I am ok with that, but i think i will try to limit her tv time now, i freaked out when she could count in cue with Handy Manny in spanish. Seeing that i know she has been watching way too much tv! hahaha....Computer, she only plays or rather slams shuts her vtech lappie. Have not let her used a pc. But I think we should embrace technology in this era not keep them away from it. But also introduce old school fun. I sooo want to bring her to the Kampung Days place when she is slightly older. To catch longkang fish! hahaha... Now I need to brush up on four stones too!

My boy is not keen to watch TV at all, the most he will be 'attracted to ads' for a couple of mins before he loses interest..sometimes I wish he can sit down and watch a bit of TV programmes.
He's been meddling with my lappie, turning and shutting it down and opening the programs. My iphone is a fixture on his hands whenever he gets his chance to hold it. He's know the apps and he's more of a "youtube" junkie than I do! I dun even need to turn on his fav for him, he can do it by himself diaoz!

Lilbluey, did u get playhouse disney? Most kiddos are glued to playhouse disney! The songs are so catchy even i enjoy watching it with her. Wah Ash is a techie in the making! We refrain from letting miki play with the real stuff but tell her she needs to be careful. Learnt my lesson when i allowed her to tap on the keyboard of my macbook and she yanked several keys out!

Nat don't seems to have the patience/interest to sit on my lap & read thru a short story book with me like my little niece used to do.
I know every kid is diff but the ks mom in me, is getting a little worried...heehee
So i m worried tat learning thru tv & computer will make other form of learning more difficult since i can never beat a PC program, right? No?
Argh...it's so tough being mom!</font>

busybee- Nooo nooo dun say tat....sometimes me as a sahm oso lazy!! Din even bring Kaelyn for classes etc or to find out more bout pre-schooling.. ;p Am just lucky tat Kaelyn is willing to co-operate and learn.. Sometimes I oso feel tat I'm not doing enuff for her!! ;p
Oh yes, the book store at forum basement there, Twinkle Thinkers, they got a wide and good range of kiddy books!! Plus they are having 40% and above storewide sales now!! I bot lots there!!
Oh I bot precut plain cards from Popular!! There have it!!

hi busybee -- hee hee ...i thot it is 5 stones? I saw ur niece today w her daddy..she is so cute..dance to the teddy bear song with so much emotions!
my son's fav cartoon is Kong Fu Panda. he laughs at the funny parts to my amusement. to be honest i had to get him watch tv so i can do chores without having to watch him attempting to switch on the washing machine.
cheerbear - my pd recommended yogurt for probotics (u r asking what food has), but my son cant take diary stuff so i bot that $40 bucks Biogaia. He takes 5 drops a day.

Eelyn, think thats it for me. Thanks!
I quickly went to see Nicky's video on fb, good job Kaelyn!
The topic on teaching our babies came just in time as yesterday I was asking about the worldbook series. Its a set of storybook, cd, flashcards etc. I was sceptical because as what busybee said, would it be pure memorisation only?
But I think most important is consistency in teaching. I am simply not consistent enough, so now KJ is really "half bucket of water" in everything. Jellypurin, at least Rebby knows what she is watching and can respond. KJ watches tv but doesn't even know how to count or his ABCs. He is not interested in storybooks, flashcards etc. Nickypower, I must learn from you!

hi busybee -- hee hee maybe i older lah.. so still 5 stones!
just wan to share my 2 cents worth, when i send Remus to school the start of this month. I enrolled him in full day childcare, as the school has 15% for full day, so its cheaper to put in full day than half day.
Though i hv my mum & helper to take care, i find that sending him to school has its pros & Cons. Cons as usual, get sick easily (but i guess even though when child turns 2 /3 yrs old, they wil stil get sick wan) or worried that he will get bullied in school.
Well, i never think that Remus will get bullied in school, cos he is a real terror at hm & outside. However, his teacher called me 1 day, and told me that he was bitten up by his fellow classmate who is of smaller size than him. I was so shocked, but i was not angry. Children will tend to behave like tat, either get bullied or bully others (seriously, hw can you stop the kids from behaving like tat, right?)
Pros of sending him to school: More discipline (haha, he scared of the teacher in school and will behave himself); learn hw to eat themselves, socialise with others, has a standard regime in school (meaning he also will follow timing to sleep & wake up at hM for school). Most importantly, they learn new things (no doubt, they might not know much at at this age). THey learn dancing, music, reading stories, outdoor play and nap together).
Somehow, i find that introducing our kiddos earlier, might be useful.

on flashcards - we have some at home but it is more the opposite types - and i like the cartoons - v nice. E knows how to pick up some words (i think he recognise the cartoons). he gets bored now w ABC, his 123..is just me counting 1-10 at bathtime. He is more interested in animals, bus/trains and signs.
for story books, he looks at the pics ..his baby bible is for him to hunt for birds and elephants (found in when God create the world and Noah's Ark)..rest he is not interested.
I think i am grooming a zoo keeper
