I look forward to the replies to your post. My son was just this same way, and absorbed whatever information I presented to him. Although I was talked into putting him into Kindergarden by his dad, I am now pulling him out before he enters 4th grade this year. My daughter is a "textbook 6yo", loving and adore everything. So far the school system is great for her and she loves it.
My last is very much like my son. She's almost 2yo now, and she'll be starting next year (when she's 3).
Good luck! ↑ |
I also wanted to add, that with my son - when he was 2yo I started playing math games with him in the car. By the time he started kindergarden he was starting multiplication and doing very well at it, but started loosing his passion for math when he was in school :( Can your daughter read yet? Although my son was a late reader, I was reading at 2 1/2yo. Pointing words and sounds out. If she's reading, allow her to read with you - even pretend. Allow her love of books to grow. Basically, let her lead you, while proving all the opportunities to her. Have her help you cook dinner, working with math in the kitchen and teaching consistancies of different items.
There's an opportunity to teach in all areas of our daily life :) ↑ |
| my advice is at this young age they dont need structured learning, just opertunitys to learn, i.e. less teletubies (and tv in general!) and more books, games, magnetic letters on the fridge... count how many steps are in front of the house, count how many are behind the house, eventually you will start talking about which has more. it will come naturaly, just continue to provide a "smart enviornment" for your kids. ↑ |
