When we embark on this journey... to educate Sarah as much as we can, and as much as we want.. we never thought
it would be far beyond our expectation.
We made a video of Sarah reading her words and books.. it is so rewarding to see all our efforts pay off when she started to read. She has been able to read since she was 9 months old. We have never ever recorded her reading the words or her reading her books.So we decided it is high time to do so on tape. It is great to see other parents in the group is making the same progress. Which makes is even better. So happy that the other children is progressing fast as well.
Our persistence and her yearn for knowledge is remarkable for the past 4 months. Wish we could turn back the clock, so we can input more knowledge... ( we were so busy with the business & her being sick - not fun) -- her education was on slow mode.
I dare not post the video of the parent -- whose child is reading ( absolutely cute & smart), without her permission.
The child is Sarah's ex classmate -- age 18 months old. As for Sarah, I have not converted it yet into soft copy to upload it onto the site.
Been busy busy. I have burning burning cds for the rest of the mothers. Up till 4am this morning. The little girl is like a clockwork. Up by 6.30am . So the parents had 2 hours sleep only. It is worthwhile to see the progress with all the late nights.
She is sitting here now reading her books and asking her daddy to read more...
At 19 months old.......
Yes, we are training Sarah to be ambidextrous like her grandfather ( Ann's dad ). So every time Sarah picks up anything she will use her left hand, pass it onto the right hand to do the adjustment then pass it back to the left to place it. We are training to use both her to draw with both hands. She has no problem to do so.

I am constantly reading some books which are for Sarah's education.. or in line with Sarah's education or even for the businesses. We just got hold of Harvard Business School ebook called " The Blue Ocean Strategy" .. have not got into it yet, but I have read the preface & the 1st chapter.. it is a definite " to read book"

Tony Buzan - This book is all about making your kid smart. Of course, it did mention that the kids are already smart to begin with. A lot of homework to do after reading this book. I found out that the word " be careful" - " no touch" -
is a BIG NO NO for parents who wants to bring up their child as a positive child. Hey do you know that some of the famous Tony Buzan methods such as Mind Mapping can also be found in this book... Good Read!

Everyone was raving how great it is....It is a tactful way of tacking some issues that you might face -- or facing right now... yeah the " no " word summons from the Child is common, so there are ways to ensure that the answer from the child is to say other than the word " NO" .. Sarah hardly say the word " NO" , she says the
" don't want" -- my bad. I taught her the word. We now have to spell our words like " t-e-a" whenever we don't want her to have any caffeine or " I-C-E" -- sad huh??? I find myself keep referring to this book all the time........
Yup, more books if I have the time to post it all up here for everyone
