karma to all of us (for being caring parents to our children) - we need a pat on the back from time to time

my son loves the lego duplo series more than the megablocks. he also loves the fisher price garage/car port and can play with it for hours. he also loves anything that plays music like play piano, drums, harmonica, xylophone, etc. he also loves puzzles. the good thing though is that there are a lot of toys out there that are also learning toys like educational puzzles, learning drum, musical books, etc.

my son is always excited to show what he knows and does the same thing as your E. when he does this, i try to give him some new material and he likes that a lot.

check this website out: http://alifba.tv/online/projects.php

i think this website might be able to help you out - it has an interactive software that teaches Arabic & Quran.

goodluck.

My sons and I are going to the library for their activities geared for young children (as well as to borrow books, etc.), and to nearby parks for much needed exercise (and also for developing their motor skills as well).

Thank you all for your wonderful suggestions! Karma to you all .

will the above also apply for a 36 month old toddler?

karma to you! thank you so much - the site looks like it will very helpful in teaching musical notes!

I think that learning starts from the womb but school should start when the children are ready emotionally and intellectually. This is because from my experience, I was qualified & wanted to go to school (kindergarten) at 4 years old but when I was already in school, I did not want to attend anymore because I realized now that I'm a mom that I was not emotionally ready - I was a shy, geeky child, did not know how to socialize and was happier when I learned new things than meeting new people. 

That is why I am thankful that there are playgroups where my child can socialize with other children and libraries and bookstores that have activities for young children (since we had to take him out of daycare when he got sick).

Very interesting.

I am right brain dominant 15 to 3.

Hi fruityfruit8. I believe there is a separate forum for the Tweedlewink/Twink DVDs - here is the link: http://forum.brillkids.com/product-discussions-and-reviews/wink-and-tweedle-wink-program/msg17270/?topicseen

I'm 36 yrs. old and had my first child when I was 33 and had the second 4 months ago.

thank you for the suggestion. I will definitely try that.

thanky you Lappy for the warm welcome. I have two boys and my oldest is almost 3 years old already - I found this site a few months ago and wished that I had found this earlier. Am still glad though that with my baby, I will be able to use the pieces of information that are available in this forum.
