I am very pleased with both my sons’ reading and general knowledge abilities. I have spent a lot of time reading other parents’ advise on this board and have found it very helpful. I rarely take time to post but I am so very grateful for those of you who do. I love hearing stories about your kids and what they can do. It has shown me what is possible.
It is a bit sad to see how much more you can see the little person inside my kids than others their age, how much more kids are capable of. Although I am not relaxed about my own investigation into early learning, I am relaxed about delivering it, so I know it is possible at the level I do it. As they get a little older it is fun to see how exponential everything gets, meaning the learning snowballs on you. I didn’t exactly get it when Pokerdad said something like, the learning wasn’t linear, it was geometric. Now I do.
Special thanks to Teachingmytoddlers, Aangeles, MandaBplus3, Pokerdad, Kerileanne. I’ve found it very helpful to go back and read every post of some of the frequent posters here.
