Dear Melanie,

Thx for your encouragement.
From where we come from, it's normal to speak at least 3 languages plus afew dialects.
So it could be a little confusing for now, but my bb understands instructions in Chinese &
she say things out in English ie, fish, bear, cat, car park, bag, bird, duck, dog etc.
We also read out Bible verses printed out & when I recite she knows which one & point to it.
Hope she will read out soon, we will keep it up, thx again !

Hi Melanie,

Thx alot for your advice. I will sit down with my bb.
Actually she always look forward to her LR session as whenever I mention
computer lessons, she will be very delighted to get her seat & can sit for 1/2 an hour each time,
for LR, LC &ＬＭ．　  

Happy to know your bb can read ! Just at day 55 too.
I started my bb with LR at 11 months & now at day 72.
My girl knows her body parts too when asked but she does not say out the words/read.
I just want to know if any parents/all of you parents sit down beside bb to repeat the words to bb ?
Also the multisensory part, do you all take the time or just auto forward that part like myself ?
Any good suggestions for me as I am also very eager to see my bb start reading too !
Thx in advance..

Yah， come to realise that, is there any logic behind this ?
Or is it better to change the font colours to the colours of the word ?
Maybe someone can enlighten us on this..

I guess you guys who paid for LR in USD sｈould be very grateful as all you pay is USD 400 ++
We in Malaysia have to pay RM1,600 for the whole set of LR deluxe, LC &　ＬＭ．

On days that I dont work, my hubby will let me sleep late till after 10am. 
Then we will switch & he will go lie down for an hour or more; he is the full time home-maker.
We always try to fit in an hour of outdoor activities in the park, running with our bb in the evening.
My 15 m/o is very active,runs on her own, not wanting to be carried.
Believe me, this makes her very tired & after dinner & milk, she will lie flat like a log !
She will sleep til the next morning.
This is very good excercise for us parents too..
Always fit in excercise as this will make everyone very energetic !

Hi All !
What a challenge for 2012 ! I just wondered when I should start reading a real book to my 15 m/o girl.
Because she will bite into whatever books i give or show to her, even thick small booklets.
I would like to start her on LR 25 story books but worried that it will all be torn before she can read them.
Any advice ? BTW, she has been on LR, LM & LC for 4 months now, half an hour, twice a day.

Thx alot ! 

Where can I get Leap frog DVDs & how much is per set ?
Is it good for 14 month old baby ?
Thx for the info 

Thx everyone for all the ideas & links 

Yeah, if anyone out here knows where to get materials to teach from the blilical worldview,
do let us know. As it is interesting to teach christian kids about these.
Dear mother of faith, do share with us when you find out, thx..

I agree with Oaita.
simplified is created by mainland chinese, & most words (if not all) had lost its original meaning.
Just a few exampls here : love (ai) in traditional (TC) has a heart in it but simplified (SC), the heart is gone,
replaced by a friend & how could we love without oue hearts ? FYI, TC words is like a written picture,
which you can make up the meaning looking at the picture,provided you know a little of the language.

Next is the word listen (ting), in TC there is a ear+a heart, which means you must listen with your ears +
using your heart. Beautiful, is it not.. But in SC, it is cut down to a mouth+kilograme(weight),
so I always say the youngsters nowadays dont listen but put in lots of arguments (mouth) when we say
something to them instead.

I learnt a little TC when I was young, it is still in use in HK & Taiwan.
I am glad it  is preserved that way there. Elsewhere, it has gone SC, at least officially.
Personally, I prefer my bb to know TC first as later on she can catch up SC everywhere,
as I think a beautiful language full of the original meanings should be learnt, also it is a good
way to teach moral too. you will soon find out later 

Hi，
Someone told me that we could the toddlers up to 10 mutiple languages easily.
Is it true & any research to back this up ?
We Malaysians can easily speak 3-5 languages; malay being our national language,
english int'l language, chinese mother tongue + some dialects.
This is due to our environment influences + necessity 

Hi，
I have thought of homeschooling my 14m/o bb, but here in Malaysia, it is not the norm.
Moreover, it is not easy to get the resources & what curiculum to follow exactly i dont know.
My girl picks up pretty fast & to go to Grade 1 at 7 y/o, i think it's too late for her, also becos
i had started her on LR,LM,LC 2 months alrdy.
Anyone who has used books no longer to be used, for toddlers/young kids (h.school subjects),
pls PM me ok. Thx 

Yes, Geography is good.
May I suggest to add Moral lessons, for the good souls who is developing new lessons 
Children these days need to learn basic good manners ie greetings, to be kind, helpful etc.
Dont you all agree ? 

Is it what they say is true about boys being slower than girls in talking & walking ?
Is it alright for babies to start to walk around 11 m/o & start running at 13 m/o, or is it better
to start later ? Do all these matter as to their overall well being ( physical / mental / emotion )
later in life ?
