My Daugther now keep asking why on thing, example I told her cannot so this , do that. She will ask why?

Have to explain slowly , like you do this, you will fall, when you fall, what happen? You will boo boo pain, do you want boo boo pain?

If it’s my parent generation , first thing will kena is rotan

montesorri very hard to teach kids to write chinese strokes and radicals.

kids who love montessori and freedom to learn (based on liking), usually dislike learning chinese because have to memorize many strokes.

correct if I am wrong, but my perception is that mandarin usually involve a lot of repeated practice. Kids usually don't like to do this unless they are forced to keep repeating. This is not what Montesorri teaches.

Dont so kiasu like singapore. People do u also want follow

NGiaww so cute! Haha I can't wait for this period to come

I was sent to English medium kindergarten at 5, then SK .. speak Chinese at home, speak Malay and English at school.
Did learn basic Chinese at primary -> han yu pin yin , and only into adulthood now really learn to read Chinese (because of working environment) but still mostly use google translate lol

I did heard Chinese medium school will be tough, my Daugther personality now is outspoken, independent, more mature than kid around her age, playful, still listen to us and respect (mostly my wife the enforcer)
Why wife already got annoyed sometimes. So many questions why. Why why why lol

If you don’t have patience , you gonna feel annoying too

Hi all! Thank you so much for the wonderful response..

I also honestly do not want to overdo with learning like what sakuraboo mentioned.. Just want her to enjoy her childhood and the ultimate goal is actually to ensure she is capable enough when it comes to standard 1(planning to send to chinese school) and do not feel left out

she's currently 22 months old
Her development is ok, can express feelings now and sentences.. Our daughter have anxiety with strangers then she would either tell us daddy, abang papa(scared) or mommy, abang(papa).. Haha the abang are the cleaners at our condo or the security guard.. She knows how to express feelings as well for example when she's angry she would do her angry face and cross her arms when my mother annoys her and every night before i go to bed I will always ask her how was her day and she told me about the experience that she was angry with my mom and showed the action of crossing her arms and showed the angry face..

I was shocked when she did that lol.. Because when it happened, she was with my wife and my mother..

She can also sit down on her own at the table and enjoy her food which makes it a lot easier for us to take her out for dining.. She wouldn't allow us to feed her and  luckily she's still not an ipad baby although been exposed to some of the toddlers who join us for meals who sees ipad

Btw speaking about preschools, i was from Montessori myself at The Children House in Bangsar.. I truly enjoyed my childhood there..
So I went to enquire the 1 near lucky garden bangsar, but i felt the quality of teachers fell so much and didn't feel comfortable leaving her there..

Which Montessori did you send your daughter cuddlybubblyteddy?

My friend highly recommended Finnish early education for my daughter who is a teacher herself but the distance not too favourable..

So I did some searching and found out TTDI, KL has one as well so most likely will check it out

bro....22 months
Stay at home play magic sands and drawing walls have more brain development at centres

my 2cents

Kids are like sponge, they will become whatever you feed them.
You behave like explorer, she will become one.
You appreciated family members doing at home, she will caring as well.

She wont suddenly become academic excellent when the parents keep on scrolling phone after work.
Parents shape them well.

Forget all about the tuition, centres, extra classes.
You are the development.

How old? 1-3 years old is too small. Reccommend start sending to playschool/preschool starting 4 years old.

I send my daughter at 4 years old to a playschool.

Develop their fine motor skills. Starting 5-6 years old only sent to really learning preschool.

I noticed she picked up reading, writing and simple math fairly quickly at 5th years old.

She Turn out just fine.

you would had missed 80% of the brain developement time

stimulation is very important, you can either do that at home or go attend such centers.

Shichida Method starts from 6 months. if you got time you can do it yourself, but most parents let the kids play with ipad or tv switched on.
