yes, it's MSA (Modern Standard Arabic)

Michandbaby welcome to the Forum. You are in the right place in the right time  Your baby is still 4 months old (you can start teaching her today!!!) and you can find all the information you need about early learning for babies.

Try to start reading brillbaby website http://www.brillbaby.com/early-learning/start-here.php
Then, you can search in the older posts or ask directly here in the Forum.

Happy early learning!

You may create a category just about him. You can put his pictures doing his favorite activities and describe them in a simple way. You can also finish the presentation with a praise for his focus and "hard work"

I remember my son's favorite slides were when I and/or my husband were kissing/ hugging him. You can even take a picture of him watching LR and add an encouraging comment.

If he's hooked again, you can reintroduce LR curriculum and keep just two or three custom slides at the beginning and the end of each session about something he did that week.

I hope this works

You may try Eurotalk math 3-5. My son really enjoyed it when he was 1.5 - 2.5.

Hello Everyone,

I have Jones Geniuses Early Learning MATH Accelerated Homeschool Curriculum Kit (Digital) and Giggle Math set in a like new condition. They have been gently used by my son and there is no visible wear to any part of the sets.

Please PM if you're interested.

Hey Mandy,

I can't help it: questions keep coming up   Which Soroban curriculum did you use and how was your schedule?

Thank you so much for taking the time answering our questions.

Another question: You mentioned that your son went to Aloha (Soroban math school). Mine started last week, he just turned 4 and he entered the Jr. L1. They were reluctant to accept him in the beginning because of his "young age", though we do math at a 2nd grade level at home. They tested him and were pretty surprised by his math abilities.

During his first session, he would just write down the answer if the tutor is standing by him. He wouldn't finish the rest by himself. So they advised me to bring him back in a year or so when he's "emotionally ready"  . I was so disappointed and suggested he may need more time to get used to it. Did you have a similar problem when you started Aloha? Do you have ideas to get him more motivated to finish his worksheets by himself (He wasn't impressed by Aloha Dollars last time    )

Also, how frequently did you practice Soroban (in addition to the required homework)?

Thank you.

Thanks for the prompt response! What I love about your schedule is that are so many activities but each of them doesn't take a long time. I guess consistency plays a big role as well.

I edited my previous post while you were writing yours. I guess I ask that question again: How could you juggle between a preschooler and a baby that may seek your attention pretty constantly?

Thank you so much Mandy for sharing your schedule and yes please we want more   . I can tell by looking at your schedule that you are the organized mom I am trying to be (but simply struggling as there are so many things to fit in a day). How did you remember to do everything? Did you keep a super long checklist with all the activities PLUS preparing the teaching material PLUS cooking/ cleaning/ appointments, etc  ? Do you usually get enough sleep?

Oh and how did you juggle between a baby and a preschooler? (I have a 4y and an 8m baby, they both need my attention pretty constantly.)

Congrats! Your post made my day! Thank you so much for sharing the news. Would you also like to share your thoughts about how to foster a long lasting love of learning? I think this is the main key to success.

Thank you

Now this is the most exciting curriculum for our family! My preschooler and baby are loving it.  Thanks BK!

Thanks Lappy for the update. We're looking forward for the beta version.

Same question I guess many of us are waiting for the Arabic curriculum. Any updates?

Keep up the good work. You are doing the right thing. I guess most of us have been through this, but one day, TADA! Our little ones showed they actually can read.

Never lose hope

That's OK! Interest comes and goes. Try to make the lesson more fun and choose the right time to do so. Maybe when your baby has just woke up and looks happy and contented, or right after having a meal You may just play one lesson a day, that's fine, as long as you are consistent, but NEVER force your baby to watch LR.
