Comment on Child Development: The “Helpless” Child Syndrome by my video marketing help

First off I would like to say excellent blog! I had a quick question in which I’d like to ask if you don’t mind.
I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your head
prior to writing. I have had difficulty
clearing my thoughts in getting my ideas out there.

I truly do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are wasted just trying to figure out how to begin.
Any ideas or hints? Cheers!

Comment on Math Secret: Teach Your Child to do Math Faster than a Calculator by Key

There are also apps for this kind of training. Android tablets and smartphones have apps that are adapted to the touch interface. My favorite is the Mental Abacus app.

Comment on How to Teach Math Using Shichida’s 65 Day Program by Adrienne

Hi! I’m so glad to see your blog. I have been doing the doman method with my daughter for about 8 months now and we are covering equality/inequality and she seems to have lost interest. When I do some problem solving with her on previous material she seems to either look away or choose the wrong card. I am worried and not sure how to re-start… Do you recommend moving to Shichida 65 day math program or do you think it would be too much.. Thanks so much, I hope to hear from you.

Comment on The Link Between Morning Sickness and Smart Babies by Aran

Whoever did that study was not very good at math. Only 1% of the population have IQs higher than 130. It is a fact proven by statistics. Therefore it would virtually impossible to have such high percentages of kids with an IQ higher than 130, morning sickness or not. It is a mathematical, statistical impossibility.

Comment on Researching International Schools in Kuala Lumpur by Maria

Hello There,

My son will be attending BSKL from September onwards. Of all the schools we visited it was the only one we felt was a proper British School.

We avoided Alice Smith since it has ‘certain reputation’ and we have dutch and sout african friends, as well as malaysian chinese friends, who pulled out their kids coz they were discriminated against for not being English. Sorry, they can keep their racist attitude to themselves.

Regards,

Maria

Wow Shen Li, I learnt something new today thanks to you.
Never thought of such concepts such as fixed mindset and growth mindset. Gosh, there’s so much to learn, istn’t there?
Have you finished reading the book? Do share with us what the takeaways are.
Thanks!

Comment on Right Brain Education in Infancy by Makoto Shichida – Part 2 by Shen-Li

Hi Ambaree,

Where are you located? Brillkids has local distributors but I cannot seem to find the list for it. Perhaps you can contact them. The best I can do is 10% off with this coupon: BKAFF36716. You should try the local distributor if they can do better.

When I bought mine, I got the download version so I didn’t have to pay for shipping.

I got everything – Little Reader, Little Musician, Little Math. I also have Little Chinese and Little French. It works out cheaper if you buy the value bundle but the outlay can be a bit steep. They used to do monthly installments but I don’t see it any more…

Is it worth it? I believe so. My younger son was not really a book kid but he went through Little Reader and he’s reading very well now. He also really enjoys Little Musician. He’s very keen on music so I hope I can build on his Little Musician experience with music lessons when he’s a bit older. I think the only program we haven’t really maximised was Little Chinese. I don’t know why but both my boys don’t seem keen to learn that one… We’re still pretty new with Little French so it’s early days yet.

Hercules is our nickname for my younger son because he’s brute strength – not at all very subtle like his older brother. :-p
