Raising & teaching a kid is like learning from the beginning all again!
Kids are born creative. But just need to let the flow goes on...
Being a mom of a 5 years old son, I'm learning every day. Sometimes I wonder seeing how a child can be so innovative, creative, adopting...I'm not just talking about my son, it's in general. Kids are creative, most intelligent. Though their restless activities sometimes bother us. But without this, they would not be a kid anymore, no?
My whole day is all about taking care of my son. He is very talkative, playful, and restless. But as he is in pre-school going age, I had to make him sit for learning some basic education. I usually take him with me after breakfast for about half an hour for education. And then again during the evening. I never believe in force teaching, so mostly it's some fun activities.
Teaching him writing is challenging. Especially our native language, Bangla. It's really tough for a kid. My son can write all the English Alphabet, name almost every daily material and activity, and all the other basic things. But it's a struggle to teach him Bangla. Now, every day I try to spend some time teaching him Bangla writing.
And, during the evening or sometimes at night, we learn Rhymes.
Besides these learning sessions, I have to take care of his other activities. Kids need a lot of affection and attention. I have to attend play sessions with him, bring him outside and all. Also, he sometimes helps me to take care of the house chores, watering the plants...
This pandemic made put life upside down. It's really tough to give our kids active, playful, and learning sessions. For people who are reading this, I would suggest you limit monitor time and give them more active sessions. So they can connect and learn more.
I'm so proud to you mommy for being a first teacher of your son. It should be the first teacher is the parent. It is good teaching this kind of kid because they are so innovative and creative in imagination.
