thanks Jenene, it is hard with tree, but I can see you have a lot more to deal with.. I can imagen it! And still you finde the time to help other out, how do you do it? thanks again for alllllll you words ;-)
yes I think math and reading sould be my main focus... they like it, but it is hard not to try and see how much they know, I went for a walk with my 3 year old, and we found this kide of toy set up in a park, when he sat in it it would tilt to the front, but when I sat in it it would tilt so much it tuched the ground... he asked me , why that happend, I answer I was hevier than he was, and that you would need 5 little boys like him to make one mama, because he was 15kg and I was 60... he looked at me puzzeld, then ofcourse I did the math and said SORRY!! only 4 kids like you, and he looked at me like, ok! now it makes sence!! does that mean all the little math is working? not sure... so there is when I would love to say, hey, how much is 15 x 4? but ofcourse he wouldnt say 60... and there is when I would say.. no he has no idea! he has done more things like that, he said 2+2+2+2=8, completly sure of himself, but then I will ask, and how much is 3+3?and is as if he suts down... but it might just be his left brain , coming in to action, so I will do as told, NOT TEST. it is true he dosent have to demostrate he knows, as he dosent have to demostrate he loves me and I will still love him to pices, so take teaching as loving, give and dont wait to recive , and then is when you get it all back :-)))
I will look in to DVDs, but I´m a bit cheep as well, jajaj I need them to be really good , to get the curage to spend the money and be able to justefy it to my husband... not easy when you don´t work to feel free to spend.
as to swimming: took them during the weekend, and again, great, yes I agree as soon as you put to much focus on them learnign, things are not fun, and they will not want to go, it happend when my father in law came with us to teach them my older son (each of us got a kid to teach, he got the older, because he is easyer), just decided not to come with us and if we got him there he just didnñt what to go in, them during summer my dad was teaching them, and again... he decided to stay at home with the baby and me, ... I think he got too pusted,
during the weekend, I just let him do, as he wanted and got a lot of praise each time he tried something ( he did need to get those lessons, because the info he was using was from my dad and father in law, but now it was him how decided whe and how to do it), and very soon, he took the floter off, and was trieng to do it on his own. my girl as well, actually we had to teach her a bit of fear to the watter, because she would just jump in... :-/// sacry when you at the pool with two others...
any ways, just if any mom out there is reading and thinking that all her swimming lessons are going now were , I would encoreg to let them go on their own, they have picked up a lot more than we think they have!!!
thanks to all the oms that have sared their ways of doing things, I have to say I feel a better "professional mom", isn´t ti a great job?
