I have all the while thought i am a very relax mum when it comes to Nick. Afterall, i never did any flash cards with him, enrichment programs, alphabets or anything of such when he was much younger. So much so that when he was 3.5yo, i became very worried.... Is he slow, is he having learning difficulties, is he having some kind of problems etc was what i used to ask myself and some of my girlfriends.
From then on, he had to learn to write ABC, i had to think of ways to get him motivated to study etc.. From bribery to praising him etc.. You name them.. I probably tried them all..
Come this year, just 2 months shy from his 4th birthday, i became worse! Not that i realized it earlier.. But i started reading about Analytical Skills, Advanced Reasoning Skills, Language and Communication Skills etc that i decided to sign him up for the program. Then came the math programs that incorporate both Analytical Skills and Advanced Reasoning Skills as well..
Today, just 10 minutes back.. I was reading an article on the MPM program that Nick is attending and realized that they actually recommend and take in students 5yo and above!
Hey! Isn't Nick learning it a bit too early then? So he is not slow afterall? Gosh! I am just another typical KS Mum robbing my son off his precious childhood!!
