Assalamualaikum and hi dearie mommies!
Alhamdullillah..I’m so happy to be Fabulous Motherhood special
invited blogger and be able to share my passion with other mommies out
there…especially through this awesome FM blog!
My precious gems!
For those who already know about my blog, *and
from FM previous entry*...they will surely can guess what I'm going to talk in
this special entry..Yap..Early Childhood Education at Home. Oh I just love talking about it…this
is my life..my passion!
Let's me make it simple. Early education..is
when you giving them education before the actual school age…so..sending your
kids to kiddie is also consider as early education…but the one that I love to
focus is..Early Education at home done by Parent!.
As we all know…and should take it into a
count is that, parent is always a best teacher. Because of our connection with
our kids, we always want the best for them, so we tend to do the best, finding
the best ways and resource and as we love our child so much. We want to make
them happy. This is what I’m being doing..Learning with fun and exciting
methods and they actually learn and bloom!
Learning is fun and
exciting!
Why Early Education at home is so important?
Well mommies,
let me put it this way..
We have 2 maggo trees..one with TLC (firtalizer, water, good sun and soil) and one just to grow with out TLC (on the
side of the road)..which do you think will produce better , bigger and juicier fruit? Same goes to kids brain…from 0 to 6 is the
critical time for the brain development and we actually can shape the kids Brain to the full potential!..and not to forget, that our child have their own
ability, strong points that can only be detected by parent that actually spend
times with their kids.
It’s priceless to see your child blooms!
Now we know roughly what is early
education..so what’s next?
When I ‘m being ask about how I actually come
to know and really put myself in early education for my kiddos. I will them
them that I have my AIMS!
We can shape them as what we want!
Mommie, we all should have AIMS for our kids
future…"I want my kids be a strong, confident kids" or "I want my child to
be creative and happy". Aims are important to make us see the next step, see
the big picture of what we should do and aims give us the ‘MUST’ in doing
something and one of the thing is to early educate our kids.
What else?
Istiqomah, consistent in doing things…I know
it’s sound easy but a bit difficult to do, I myself find it difficult, but
after 1 months, just 1 months, you will find it effortless!.
For working moms, your job and less time with
the kids is not a limitation for you.
I’ve actually got friends who works as doctors with oncalls and busy
stressfull work life but still manage to educate theirs baby and todds. Here are some tips and activities that you
can try at home with your kids.
Simple activity at home.
Limit your time watching TV. This is very
important, try to take the usual watching time especially at night to read books or do
some simple drawing with the kids. Attention given by us to our kid while
reading or looking at what our kid doing
things is so precious and this will built better connections between parents and
kids. This means, they will want to give attention to you and will listen to
you more!
Baking is one of the best activity that kids can participate.
Let your kids to participate in house work
when you come back from work. Simple activity like sorting out the cloths,
while doing that you can teach them colour, counting and even size. I know you will find that its making thing
slow, be patient moms, it will be slow
at start, but when their master the helping skills, they will surely make it
easy on you.trust me…it work for me! Now,
my kids do most of the simple thing them self from dirty cloths to
sweeping and tiding out the house and they actually learning a lot of things
from time management to motor development. It’s amazing!

video of Aisyah reading at age of 3 years old and she is using sight reading
method.
Choose your teaching methods that suit you. I
found out that teaching how to read using sight reading methods works well with
working moms! You can refer to my early education blog to know more about sight
reading and you can email me personally if you do need help in term of tools
and tips!
You can make simple craft with things from the park!
Make a full use of your weekends! Kids does
not need extravagance plans or holiday to be happy and learn something, visit
to the park or pet shop will stimulate
their curiosity and creativity. It would
be helpful if you have a special beg with plain paper and colour pencil in it.
Drawing is one of the best thing to do when you are out and about with the
kids! You can make simple math by using the leave or stones. You don’t have to
tell them’’ we are doing math’’ just do the activity, don’t limit your child
thinking with orders, instead you say’’ wah, I’ve got 2 leave, how many do you
have/ you can find’’ ‘’ lets give it to daddy, how many leave will daddy
have’’ See, maths is fun, and the kids is
learning without them noticing it!
Rewards your child effort with something nice and special.
Rewards! Please stock up some stickers and
rewards your child with one when they make you happy..and please don’t give the
whole thing to them, if not the stickers end up to be on your walls and its not
going to be special anymore!
There are tons of activity that we moms can
do with the kids. All you need is some effort, ideas, material and time.
Remember, my dearie mommies, you are the best partner and teacher for your kids
and to see them bloom is priceless. All kids are born geniuses!
Happy Early Educating moms!!
