i am happier to see her share, to see her help a child up after a fall, to hug a child who is crying. now if she still didnt know any of this i woudl be fine with it. once she learnt her alphabets she would point to things and want me to spell and read them back to her. she picked all this up from doing chores, from regular life without proper literary instructions. she understands fractions from making sandwiches. she can say her numbers upto 50 but actually count upto 5 and can put things together to make 5 - and take things away to make 5 or less too. she picked up shapes, colours from our conversation. begining and it is still her favourite 'toy'). Without doing doman or introducing her to any alphabets she picked them up at 18 months probably from dr seuss's abc book (a book she discovered at a friends at one and we had to buy our own copy because she so loved the rhyme - she's loved books from the v. why does a ball roll and yet a block wont. just wanted to share a different opinion with u. that will instill a love of learning of curiousity of finding creative answers to problems.īut if u r talking about a different doman method then forgive my ranting. that is the skill she will take with her all her life. yes later doing that drill if i see my dd not being up to speed in school is perfect. but i am definitely not going to encourage it.ĭoman method (flashcards for infants is what i am talking about) is so inappropriate for those first years. while on her path i introduce stuff to make it more challenging for her but if she doesnt take the challenge i leave it alone.īut if she shows signs of wanting to be academic, of wanting to learn reading and math - i will go with the flow. Right from day one i follow my dd's lead. how to have good morals, how to be a caring more empathetic human being is much more important for me. I personally feel the first five years are for my dd to find out what the world is around her, what is socially acceptable behaviour (u cant hit when angry), how to be emotionally positive in this world and how to be self sufficient. i run from leap pads, i run from learning reading and math type of things. I run in the opposite direction from any kind of doman kind of learning. it is a pet peeve of mine and i can get quite 'not nice' with my writing so please understand it is not a personal attack.
