1  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child to Read / Re: How many sight words to teach at once? on: May 30, 2013, 08:34:00 AM
You mean flascards? Doman suggests 5 in a row first, then another set next day, on the third day yet another set. On the fourth day you have 15 words this way. Each set 3 times.
But I do it my own way and it works smile

I suppose that it depends on the child. I do about 10 words in EK - it's words at the same time, because I use large font for the picture (word/picture) not just picture and tiny print that I read. That's because I usually can't get down to many session a day, so I do lots at a time. About 3-4 ppt (they ask for more, and are the same age as your children smile )

Plus math - red dots.

BUT, when I do flashcards, it turns out that even 70 is not too much for them. Sure, who wants she/he turns away - for a while. They always (now) shout for more after we finish.

I'd ask another doctor if you care about natural birth. In my country 2 years of pause between births is enough to try natural forces. Still, there is SOME risk because of what is written above.
3  EARLY LEARNING / Early Learning - General Discussions / Re: Salt dough bead activity for kids on: May 26, 2013, 02:03:51 PM
Kimba, I understood that much. How is it done? What does it mean exactly? Do you squeez grapes into the dough to make it colorful? Wink I simply don't know.
4  EARLY LEARNING / Early Learning - General Discussions / Re: Salt dough bead activity for kids on: May 26, 2013, 01:30:55 PM
cool idea - what did you use for dyeing the dough?
5  Parents' Lounge / Coffee Corner - General Chat / Re: update about my little ones . on: May 24, 2013, 03:58:04 PM
Thank you so much for sharing. I also have this feeling so often that I'm not doing enough with my kids.  But they ARE learning anyway, it seems smile
6  Parents' Lounge / General Parenting / Re: Why do wish for another baby? on: May 22, 2013, 10:05:25 AM
A very interesting subject. I am a mother of three, and quite often wish for more. But like a few of you – my husband opposes the idea of more kids. For many reasons – space (we live in a small apartment – but that will change soon), finances, time, sleepless nights for me, difficult pregnancies (takes me away from kids metaphorically, because though at home I keep laying on the sofa and feeling unwell), and my age – 36 this August…
But though I see he’s right, and yet it’s not like he’s be extremely unhappy if we had one more by accident – he loves kids – he’d be very worried how we’re going to make it…
So, am I going to get over that feeling of wanting more or is it going to be constant regret?...
7  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child - Signing, Speaking, Languages / Re: Teaching Chinese - advice needed on: May 19, 2013, 07:42:56 PM
Thank you very much!
8  The BrillKids Forum / Forum Feedback + Questions / Re: uploading ppt - problem on: May 18, 2013, 01:35:22 PM
No, I don't think so. I didn't refresh. And didn't try again, but some time ago the same thing happened and I don't recollect a success in uploads so far. Perhaps I'm doing sth wrong.
9  The BrillKids Forum / Forum Feedback + Questions / uploading ppt - problem on: May 18, 2013, 09:20:31 AM
I have started uploading PPT and seems it uploads but then that it didn't happen...? So is there a special trick I don't know? Is it well described somewhere?
10  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child - Signing, Speaking, Languages / Re: Myths and Misconceptions about Second Language Learning on: May 15, 2013, 07:35:11 AM
If I understand correctly - that means that teaching very young children other languages makes more sense than teaching school-aged children? I mean, there's not much about children kindergarted age and younger smile
11  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child - Signing, Speaking, Languages / Re: Teaching Chinese - advice needed on: May 14, 2013, 12:48:23 PM
I started teaching sign language, italian and English and I like it more and more. And so am thinking perhaps I'll ask my hubby for the Little Reader you seem to like so much smile
I will give it a free trial for sure.
12  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child - Signing, Speaking, Languages / Re: Teaching Chinese - advice needed on: May 14, 2013, 05:35:17 AM
I don't have any Little Readers that's the thing. I use my own computer, PPT and such. smile

But thank you very much, I'll look through everything you suggested!
13  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child - Signing, Speaking, Languages / Re: Sign language with hearing toddlers on: May 13, 2013, 08:08:28 PM
I got very interested. Already tried today - all kids are interested, 4yr old as well smile
But call me crazy - I'm treaching them ASL though I'm from Poland. Simply because many sign words are shown online for free...

I tought them 5 words ca, theid dad too. Tomorrow next ones. I love it!
14  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child - Signing, Speaking, Languages / Re: Teaching Chinese - advice needed on: May 13, 2013, 10:16:40 AM
thanks, but I can't afford LR in CHinese or any other right now...My husband would't allow it. He takes care of finances and makes decisions - right now we are quite deficient financially...
But I got some important news to ponder on. So thank you smile
15  EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child - Signing, Speaking, Languages / Teaching Chinese - advice needed on: May 13, 2013, 08:17:00 AM
Please don't get angry if the topic is already somewhere here but I'm short of time, can't browse now (looked up one page here only).

The thing is - I'm Polish, I know a few languages (English well, others moderately), but I don't know Chinese. I want to expose my kids to it because it's so different that it'd be mind broadening for sure. But even though I can download pps with Chinese vocab I have no idea how to READ Chinese to them. I know nothing in that language. Is it then preposterous to try and show it to my children? If not - how to go about it? Show Chinese words but read tell the meaning in Polish/English?

Or if I was to learn - where to start - don't have any  books and Internet is my only resource.
