A young mother nearby asked, "How old is your child?"
I said, "Two years old, 10 months."
Mother was surprised: "I thought I was almost four years old, so I calculated well."
Zhe is now 1 mido, which looks really big. But his interest in English and counting comes from something that every family may have-playing cards worth four or five yuan.
When I first met poker, I couldn't go out in rainy days, and my grandfather coaxed the children to play. I was less than one year old then. One day, when I found that he could clearly tell the numbers of all the cards, I couldn't help thinking: you can know the numbers when you play cards. If there are animal patterns or fruit patterns, can you cultivate his other cognition in an entertaining way?
With the help of my relatives and friends, I found three decks of cards, one with a fruit pattern, one with an animal pattern and one with national flags (of course, for Xiao Baobao, who is over one year old, it is too complicated to recognize the national flag, so I just used it to let him recognize the color).
As a result, Pettitte became the most important playmate when Zhe was about one and a half years old, and played the role of several teaching AIDS-
& gt recognize the number 1 to 10.
Satisfying this function is very simple, any deck of cards will do. And you can play anytime, anywhere. When we went to the seaside, we took a couple and played poker with him in the car. Although I couldn't tell the size at that time, I was as happy as the next one.
& gt identify colors
When we didn't find the flag, Zhe also knew Bai Honglan. But with that deck of cards, the colors are much richer, and I have a clear understanding of the rectangle, circle and five-pointed star on the pattern. When we teach him these things, we play games. For example, I take a card and face him. I guess the color is wrong. He will find it funny and help me point it out with great interest.
& gt know fruit
More than 50 kinds of fruits were recognized slowly without deliberately teaching him. Sometimes Zhe students tease me intentionally and ask me with a card, "Mom, what is this?" I pretended not to know or made mistakes on purpose, so that he could teach me the sense of accomplishment as a teacher and let him repeat the game again and again.
& gt English 1 to 13
This is due to the invention of zhe. At that time, he began to take early English classes. Once a card fell to the ground, he picked it up and said, "Mom, this is an A, and A is a, right?" So I took the opportunity to teach him to express other cards in English.
& gt understand the meaning of the game
Children over one year old especially like to throw things at one stage. So is Zhe. A few days, he especially likes to throw poker on the ground for me to pick up.
I said, "Shall we pick it up together? Let's compare and see who picks up more and picks up faster. " He agreed happily, who doesn't understand the meaning of this game. Of course, I sometimes lose to him on purpose to satisfy his sense of accomplishment.
After picking up the cards, we sat on the table and asked him to count the cards in his hand first in Chinese to see how many cards he picked up. Let him count the cards in my hand again in English to see who has more. Slowly, he can count to 50 in English.
& gt find the same kind.
The cultivation of this interest stems from his accidental discovery of his father fighting the landlord on his mobile phone, and he thinks that bombs in pairs, belts and groups of four are very fun. Once I took out my card, found two sixes and said, "Mom, mom, look at me."
From finding a pair, upgrading to finding three identical cards, and finally looking for bombs in groups of four, children pick cards faster and faster, and their attention is becoming more and more concentrated.
