Is she ready for pre-k

research has shown that many children get a formal learning space but they have not been prepared for the space .What do we mean when we say your 3 year old is not ready for formal learning ? Three year old should be playing if the child is in an age appropriate setting . Regardless of the setting there are certain skills that a 3 year old should have :here are a few :
  • Child should be able to was her hands by  putting soap on her hands ,rubbing them together and also washing the back of her hand .She should be able to dry her hands.
  • She should be able to dress her self ,with the ability to put her dress over her head 
  • She should be able to put her shoes on her feet 
  • She should be verbal with the ability to say I need to use the bath room
  • She should be able to ask for help when frustrated 
  • She should be able to play alone because she is not able to share as yet 
  • She should have some empathy 
When children are given the opportunity to develop these  skills they begin to develop self-esteem and self-confidence .

Critical Thinking-observation

Last week Friday Ajani's uncle picked him up from camp when  he came home he had a yahoo chocolate drink. Nana look uncle John bought me a drink but mommy say I should not have it . John asked why you did not tell me ? Because I tricked you smiling.
This child is 4yrs and 10months . His language skills and his comprehension skills are very good because he totally understands how language works and he is using it  . He is also  developing his critical thinking skills and his memory skills . He fully understands that his mother does not want him to drink chocolate milk but  has decided that he wants it anyway.

Now that we know how is brain is wired we need to work on teaching him to develop trust and to be honest . We also have to explain why he should not drink that milk.
We would like to here your thoughts. send us an email  dasetagray@gmail.com

Language development -during thre first three years

Language development is critical and young children must understand language before they can speak words. The process of language development begins with receptive language (vocabulary). The baby will respond to sounds by crying or being started by a loud sound ,recognize familiar voices by turning their head. Respond to their name . You must also name items for the baby -for example I am going to feed your bottle now . Receptive  vocabulary gives the child vocabulary in preparing her to begin speaking in sentences .
Having books with mostly pictures for infants is very important to building vocabulary for young children. The books should have familiar items that the children will also see in their community or when they go on a trip :example-to the pet store or the zoo.
Having receptive language is the foundation  for  understanding language and the stepping stone for comprehension skills.
