當有人問我跟囡兒在家做什麼？如何教育BB等等，我都會答多跟孩子唱歌及聽音樂。可能我喜歡music, nursery rhyme, play。由我抱Abbie回家那天開始，我每天會跟她唱歌或者哼著歌，當她能坐時我會邊唱邊給她一點互動的動作，所以每天我會安排不少於10分鐘唱歌的活動，我倆都非常亨受。
唱歌對語言發展有莫大的裨益，如果時間有限最少也要跟孩子唱一、兩首啊！
Row Row Row your boat
握著孩子雙手，讓他的上身可以前後移動，可使BB前雙肩/臂強壯有力，對動作發展有幫助!而另一方面也可以增強他的空間感。
Hello Song
基本上每天一早起床也會唱給她聽，我唱得很快樂，Abbie也聽得很愉快。我希望我的孩子能夠建立樂觀愉快的態度，所以這歌可以給她知道每天都是新的開始，懷著愉快的心情享受每一天^^
有學說關於幼兒的 self awareness/ self-recognition指出幼兒最早的記憶與他對自己的概念有很大關係。
即是如果他有”自己的概念”就等於他記得所發生的事/物。鏡子便是其中一件道具讓我們知道孩子的”自己的概念”是否形成，參考”rouge test”
大部分的BB約在1歲左右便知道眼、耳、口、鼻等身體的位置，可以學的方法很多有家長/Playgroup老師唱”Head & Shoulder, Knee & Toe” 或者我喜歡 Super Simple Song 的 “one little finger”
http://www.supersimplesongs.com/cd1-4.html
我發現有些家長/老師教身體位置的時候會握著BB的手讓BB觸摸自己的身體位置，認為這樣BB便理解身體位置的名稱。
但回心一想如果自己是BB，老師握著我的手摸自己的鼻子說：「鼻子」，我可以感覺到鼻子的形狀但我看不見啊！
所以當我做老師或者媽媽時我會用鏡子。
我把鏡子放在Abbie的面前然後說：「這是Abbie的眼晴,……..」，接著我會唱One Little Finger給她聽。可惜是我家中沒有連身鏡子。(我會用英文/普通話/廣東話三種語言但每次(天)只用一種)
I put the mirror in front of Abbie and Sing the song “one little finger……., put it on you lips!” She is very excited.
另外，我再跟他看有鏡子的圖書。
I also read the book with mirror to her and introduce the body part by using the mirror.
大家可以試試：
把鏡子放在BB面前，然後介紹身體的位置，普通叙述或者唱歌也可以。若果貪心想BB也認識該生字的話可以用Flash Card( flash card的創立人是外國人所以沒有資料支持中文生字是否一樣有效) 所以這部分我自己只會用英文。
You can try
Put the mirror in front of the baby to introduce the body part. Perhaps, you can sing the popular children song “Head & Should, Knee & Toe”.
You can also using the flash card if you wish the baby explore the relevant words.
大概5至6個月BB已經有捉夠的力量抓握玩具，只要看到喜歡的物件又或者是新的物件BB就會用力地抓住，也會用舌頭舔甚至會放進口「品嚐」，這也是學習的一種。
所以在安全的大前提下可讓BB隨意抓物及讓他們把東西放進口或用舌頭舔，別剝奪他們學習的機會啊。
曾經看過一些有關腦的學說，大家也知道左腦控制右身動作而右腦是控制左邊的身體。我想若果左右手一起用的話可能刺激兩邊腦學習。讓BB可以嘗試比較兩手所握著的物件，平衡兩邊的力量，視覺及手眼協調也應該有幫助。
反正兩歲前BB都未發展慣用手(dominant hand)，所以我會間中讓Abbie左右手抓不同的物件(可能一件玩具會發聲、另一件玩具顏色會較吸引)，最終，Abbie會兩邊手看了看(數秒)，便會掉下其中一個玩具，專心Explore一件玩具。大概可能BB每次接收訊息是有Quota的，就像初生的嬰孩他們會閉上眼睛專心吸吮牛奶吧！
大家不妨可以試試：
Abbie tries to hold the toys in both hands!
And then as you see in the pictures, she loves the “pink dougnut” and let go the rattle!
Today, we brought Abbie to The Little gym to have some fun in the class named “Bugs” (for the baby from 4-10mths).
We arrived at 12:15, 15 minutes earlier before the class started.The environment is great. Neat and tidy, enough space for babies to move freely (although Abbie is not yet to crawl very well), natural light, warm and welcome atmosphere, good facilities……
Our teacher Ms. Pxx, she is excellent. First, we had some warm up activites such as stretching, jumping, walking……a series of excercises not only for warm up but also strengthen the muscle prepare the baby to crawl and walk.
Then she introduced how to hold the baby to complete the moment of rolling which can help the development of inner ear. (sort of balancing but that’s doesn’t mean that it is a must to do so) She also helped Abbie to do hand stands.I was suprised that Abbie can have a turn to try the unparellel bars with assist.
However, near the end of the class Abbie fell asleep. “Abbie is the youngest in the class and she is falling asleep so we sing the song softly.” Teacher said. I held her in my arms and the whole class sang the Goodbye Song softly (so sweet).
To sum up, the teacher is so professional which make me feel comfortable to follow her instructions to do the activities with Abbie.
後記：堂費屬偏貴類別，但環境、設備、老師都很好。不要誤會做Gym是必需，回想我們這一代沒有Playgroup/ 做Gym 也是健康長大，擁有幸褔的生活。雖然有云三歲定八十，但個人認為成功的要訣不是只取決於兒時讀過什麼，而是父母/師長有否培養孩子正確的態度，而他可受用終生。
*如果有介紹試堂費是$120*
Our school celebrated Diwali yesterday. We had have a lot of fun and did various activities. We made rangolis, diyas and ate samosas(好似咖喱角but not spicy).
However, I was very stressful when I needed to tell the story of Diwali. I did the prepartion such as search the information from internet, read the story before I told many times, made the props. The problem was I don’t know how to pronounce the vocabularies which in the story (e.g. Ayodhya, Lakshmana, Hanuman……><“).
And I was panic when I was telling the stroy in front of the children and the parents. Some of them are Indians!
Luckily, the parnets were very nice. They reminded me how to pronounce the vocabularies and everything run very smooth.
I am very happy that I learn and experience a lot from this function.
If you want to know more about Diwali below is the useful link.

This is the second class which can resume after my centre is closed.
Thanks for the parents who trust and support me. Thanks for the teacher put her effort make the class run smooth. Even though the environment is not ideal, we’ve done it!
I am especially delighted to see the children made a fast progress
and love to learn english ^^. Well done children!!
Ms angie & Ms Shan will work very hard to make sure all of you can learn as much as you can.
One of the exercises which help children arrange the sequence of numeral 1-10 and the proper quantity for each numeral. The child also learn how to assoicate between the numeral 1-10 and the loose quantity.
Moreover, it gives visual impression of odd and even quantities and later to introduce the term ‘odd and even’
It is very easy to set this kind of activity at home what you need is a tray, 2 bowls, marbles (or any objects that can transfer by tongs).
This activity aims are refine children eye hand co-ordination, fine motor skill and introduce the concept of left to right. You can introduce this activity for your child when he/she is 2.5 years old or above.

今早上午十時左右便到場參觀人家幼稚園開放日。
感想如下：
全校佈置十分美觀
最後我跟女兒參加了Shadow Play用影子戲的形式講三隻小豬的故事。講故事的老師應該經驗比較豐富。當中加插了不少的問題及活動讓小朋友可以參與故事。
個人感想，興幸我不是這所學校的老師，辦一個這樣的開放日應該要花很多額外時間做佈置及活動安排，而且個人認為浪費很多物料(特別色紙，基本上完了開放日好多作品都會丟掉)。
也興幸我不是這所學校的家長，要不然我要跟我的孩子一起做很多圖工(我相信大部分都是家長做的)。陪孩子一起做是OK但如果不是孩子的能力而要家長一起跟學校做Show，好像有點那個。
這所不是我最心儀的幼稚園，但因為比較近住所，所以也在我考慮之中。但我擔心如果老師常要為學校做這樣的Show到底他們有沒有心思及精神用在教育孩子身上？
