P-A-"Pa", P-A-"Pa"

One of the reasons why we resorted to Rayyan calling us Papa and Mama from the beginning is because "pa" and "ma" are two of the first few syllable sounds that a baby can make. In educating the kids, we should always start with things that are closest to them. Teaching them to spell or write words that are meaningful to them is the best way to get them excited to learn more. Rayyan has been able to spell and write his name and Papa, Mama for awhile now. It's just that recently I taped him for the purpose of my presentation in promoting the "Bacalah Sayang" books in primary schools.





Soon I'll share with you guys more on the things me and Ja do with Rayyan on lots of educational stuff... especially Math! And they only take less than 10 minutes per day.

The key is to START with THINGS that are CLOSEST to THEM!

hehe nak kata terror tu ok jela.. but sometimes it surprises even us whenever we want to start teaching him something, dia cepat tangkap and co-operate well.. hehe.. maybe it's the way how we communicate with him, or maybe the way that I teach... lol! who knows? I'm no expert, I must say but I only do things that I think logical to suit kid's ways of thinking... we'll find out.. how else I have been teaching him...

different kids have different strengths and abilities and they mature at different points in their lifetime... hey, we all turned out alright apa.. hehe regardless of who our parents are..

you tube tip: set width = 298, height=245. should do the trick.
