Zara's english word

Semua parents pon rasanya sama je dengan apa yang kami nak, i guess! Macam kami, kalau boleh memang nak ajar anak2 pandai cakap english. Ofkos lah kalu nk ajar speaking tu kami sendiri pon tunggang langgang! Tp Zara, she impressed us a lot! 

Zara belajar sendri je bertutur dalam bahasa inggeris. Terkejut jgak mula2 dengar. Ternganga kot kami dengar zara tanya or bagi certain statement in english. 

Bagi kanak-kanak berumur 2tahun 5bln, rasanya itu dh kira cool la.

Ok contoh ayat yang Zara selalu guna:

1. Mama, basket stuck!

2. Papa, what are you doing?

3. Mama..there you are!

4. Over there! Over here! Gone..

5. Sleep please. Close your eyes.

6. Susu kakak please (ni broken ckt)

7. No, mine! 

Itu apa yang mama terfikir untuk hari ni la. Nanti kalau ade word lain yang mama tertinggal nnt upsate balik.

Selain dari ayat2 tu, yg standard macam mengira in english sampi 15, semua shapes dah kenal, basic songs tu boleh kata dh hafal laa. 

So far, zara ni jenis yang suka baca buku, menulis dan drawing tu memang setiap masa lah. Colouring2 tu semua mmg dia suka. Alhamdulillh, untuk perkembangan zara kami memang sangat puas hati.

Yet.. Still banyak lagi kami kene improve. Contohnya macam behaviour dia. Untuk kami nak ajar zara erti "SHARE" is a big challenge! Susah sangat nak ajar zara macam mana nak share sesuatu barang. Ada pernah terbaca kat satu website:

Your 2-year-old now

Tussles over a toy happen often when two preschoolers are at play. They can be fiercely protective of their possessions, and sharing is a skill that won't come naturally to your child for another year or two. In the meantime, help him learn:

• Model sharing and use the word "share": "Would you like to share my cookie?"
• Break up fights by removing the object of debate and moving the kids onto something else: "The car needs to take a rest now. Want to blow some bubbles?"
• Casually point out big kids you see sharing.
• Hide favorite toys when other kids come to play. Twos shouldn't be expected to let others use things they're strongly attached to.
• Provide activities for playdates that involve a shared activity that each child can do on her own, like playing with clay or drawing pictures.
• Praise your child when sharing does happen. Positive reinforcement is a terrific teacher.

Budak umur macam ni memang takkan ade perasaan naturally nak share barang dia. Same goes to zara. Kalau nak suruh share apa-apa punya la kemut! Kalau kami cakap.. "Kakak..share ngan adik!" Nanti dia akan reply..."Share! Share!" sambil tangan tarik barang tu jauh2 dari adik. Aish..pelik betol. Susah sangat nak bagitau apa dia sebetulnya maksud share!

So for us, memang kene banyak bersabar dalam train anak-anak untuk berkongsi barang mainan ke atau apa jua makanan. Memang mencabar tapi kami cuba.
