Sometimes I think she is a hummingbird in her previous life...<br /><br />Some kids are naturally more active, so embrace that part of their nature. They are constantly learning, so you don't have to make it very academic. Like Dragon girl's case, she loves sensory bins, so I incorporate numbers, shapes, vocab and such into her bins.<br /><br />With Lil Dragon, I am not doing any right brain work. Unlike Tiger, she will not thrive with that method. Currently she is more play directed and forcing her to sit and focus will totally frustrate her.Jessica_littletigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01186261042497169507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9012925433543298333.post-3380658230330468012013-10-28T18:46:36.869-07:002013-10-28T18:46:36.869-07:00Jessica,

I feel so guilty. and funny enough, even though she's my second child, I feel lost as to what to do at this age. Can help with suggestions? <br />At the moment, she shows no interest in anything i present to her (toys, dolls, manipulatives). She just wants to walk, walk, walk... so cannot sit down. <br />Oh yea, do you do right brain training with Little Dragon? Can you share what and how you do it? <br /><br />agnanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9012925433543298333.post-48410990103450180352013-10-24T01:52:53.067-07:002013-10-24T01:52:53.067-07:00Tiger still enjoys Little Reader despite knowing t...Tiger still enjoys Little Reader despite knowing the words. He likes to act out the action words and they both laugh like mad after that. I should video them for you guys. <br />I did not purchase Little Musician because Tiger is already attending YAMAHA.

I didn't complete the program with Tiger because he was like..... meh<br /><br /> Maths that is concrete and touchable is so much more fun to him because he can 'play' with numbers. It is organic to him.<br /><br />My 2 cents:<br />Dots method created by Doman is meant for brain damaged children, in other words children who cannot form very critical opinions. So, these children can only learn pre-programmed things like subitizing numbers whereas algebra and such is out. Very young children can recognize quantity up till 3. So, this program creates a sense of awareness of numbers, nothing more. So, at three, I really doubt your child is interested. <br /><br />Jessica_littletigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01186261042497169507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9012925433543298333.post-14213863651193512252013-10-21T20:28:52.838-07:002013-10-21T20:28:52.838-07:00Jade,

I use it as a guide to see the skills I need to teach him by then. Right now, I am using Evan-Moor Grade K books because it explains to ME what the heck I am doing with the patterning and graphings instead of like local books with all black and white numbers only *yawn*Jessica_littletigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01186261042497169507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9012925433543298333.post-86541955607468834992013-10-21T20:21:33.513-07:002013-10-21T20:21:33.513-07:00HI Christina,

Such as Singapore Math's concrete to abstract teaching, Right now we are still using the number chips with other manipulatives such as beads, pipe cleaners and blocks. We are also using our teen boards. I don't follow the Montessori Method strictly. As with technology, I believe all things should evolve with time. So I guess we are a typical rojak style family.<br /><br />Jessica_littletigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01186261042497169507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9012925433543298333.post-68542880639587081372013-10-20T18:24:14.639-07:002013-10-20T18:24:14.639-07:00Hi so is it still worthwhile getting Little Maths ...Hi so is it still worthwhile getting Little Maths for my soon to be 3 yo?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9012925433543298333.post-15090496025875806132013-10-19T07:20:42.609-07:002013-10-19T07:20:42.609-07:00Hope you will share with me, where you get the Sin...Hope you will share with me, where you get the Singapore Maths material.
