Play and learn...

0 comments
oh hoooo...it 's been ages ago since the last post..sorry guys...this mom need some re-wiring inside her brain first...too much things to do...

ok..as promise ( ages ago) i will make a post about Hot House....

what is a Hot House...i've got this new term when i saw this nice documentary about how to make our house as learning playground and produce a brainy baby and children....

From what i saw...they said that every little thing u do is a potential learning tools for the babies...

cut the long crap..let me make it into points:

  • Talking
  • Reading
  • Show Things
Talking

Talk more...yeah...ladies...i know we been born with this ''gift''...we just love to talk aka nags ...:P

but unfortunately...we choose to use our gift to nags and nags..and nags some more...

the talk that we actually need is...TALKING to BABIES...as explaining things to them all the things that we actually do.....even tho the babies only know how to smile or cry...just talk to them...and try to make this as a habits...:)

talking to babies or children..not only help to improve their ability to connects things..it also help to make the talk and boost their confident and make their brain more active...:)
i remember the things i do to my kiddos...everything that i touch..i do...i look ...i will tell them and explain...''this is onion...we need to peel the onion before we cook...'' i'm cleaning your bottom''...'' i'm washing the dishes''..and so on...i will always try to make my children be around me and make them see what i'm doing... :)

if you are watching television.. ( me..i don't have tv..i personally think tv has more bad points then goods..) but i do this things in our relative house coz they got tv...i will explain the things in tv and if the things is not good ( fighting, saying bad words, ect...) i will immediately told them that is not good...we muslim/ we brothers and sisters don't do like that...before they even register that bad thins in their head...:)

Reading

Read...read and read...anything u have on your hand..u should read it to them...newspaper...read it loud...as long as ur baby is awake...just read...u will not see the result now..but it won't be long when they will tell you all the things that u have said...and u will be surprise with ur children general knowledge...u will..coz i do...as my son..started to say things from his encyclopedia...and i just listen with amazement.. ( in my head..i don't remember telling him about this..actually i did..when he was a baby..)...masyaAllah....


Show things

things to be show...ok...Book...make your house a ''library''...please invest more in books..coz u will never regret it...if you can..everywhere the eye could see...they see books...big..small..colorful books...this will make them feel like books is part of their life...they have to see them...if not..not ''normal''...if get what i mean here...:P

then...flash cards...oh my..oh my...this is very good...numbers...alphabets...just make them see...and make it as a routine...like..before we eat session...just give a quick glance to numbers....then...after the bath...moms...u have to be creative in finding times...you don't have to do 24 hours...just 10 to 15 minutes a day...( the more the better)...but if you are working...time is a diamonds ( gold is cheaper)..:P
you don't have to buy fancy2 flashcard...make ur self...all u need is..paper..pen and scissors..like me..i just make the power points in my lappy..and tadaaaa.....ready...just click and click..:P ( modern technology for modern moms)

and..moms..please make some effort on finding things in the internet...the alphabet game...numbers...arabic alphabet....it's easy..
you can find it in youtube...in the net..just type online free toddlers/infant game...tadaaa...the list is incredibly long..:P

i will give some that u can try...see if u like it or not...
