Education

Dear AM. I had bought a set of colourful charts from Big Bazaar. There are around 12 charts consisting of numbers, alphabets, types of flowers, fruits, birds, animals, good manners, colours, shapes etc. I have put them up in her room and she has learnt most of the things just by looking and observing. Children have a very little attention span at 3 years, so conventional methods of teaching may take long and will make your child easily bored. Try picture books, get a doodle board (magnetic board with pen), a black board & chalks or just about anything to allow your child to draw, scribble and express himself in writing. He will gradually practice his letters, numbers too. Hope this helps :)

Try the numbers in the lift next time with your child. You may be surprised with the results.

I agree with ANurima ! I too got big charts for my kid n used to put them on board n change them when one topic is done. u can get them from any person who sells posters. U can ask the child to read numbers in his room itself. he can also recognize letters. My daughter used to enjoy this exercise n wud not like to stop. u can also bring books, magazines n ask him to recognize letters from headings, titles, etc. I also used to show her images on google. Pictures make a long lasting impact on children's mind. U can also

Hello AM, Agreed with Anurima and Shikha, charts definitely help. I had bought 3 board games for my daughter when she was 3, 1 for alphabets, numbers and to get started with Hindi as well. I taught her to pin those in the board making loud declaration for what she has pinned. It helped me :) Then I bought board games for her for transport , animals etc ...She used to spend so much time playing with them and learning as well :)

AM, I try to make learning part of everyday life, like that day me and my daughter went to get some ice-cream and I asked my daughter to identify the alphabets written on the ice-cream counter, it was fun as the reward was mouth-watering for her :) and she did it. Like wise when we use stairs I encourage both my kids to count the stairs .... Its like fun :)

ya tht nice Indu.... i really like tht idea.
