Mind: Literacy Tips for Parents and Teachers 1.2

Its still a fresh memory for me during my first-time pregnancy. My husband and I used to have frequent quite heavy discussions on wide scopes of Malaysian Educational System. The pros and the cons. The ethos and so forth. The point is that routine indeed had positively affecting very much my kid now.

My Deen Mulia (my first adorable boy!) just could not stop himself from talking and asking about almost everything since his first years' age. He never gave up on trying and trying to pronounce correctly new objects. His assertiveness simply so sweet for me and very much inspiring!

Obviously, we begin to see babies' story-telling skills sparkle in the toddler days when they launch into those long, animated baby monologues. When we listen intently to one of these stories that babies tell, it is almost like we can actually follow along, because, the child is so excited in relaying the details to us. It is very much like watching a foreign-language TV show. If we watch it long enough, we actually start to follow the story, even though we don't understand a word of it.

That is the power of the narrative! And the baby has learned that skill from watching us and listening to us intently. So, its really a wise thought of to always watch our back, our bad habits in particular!

We can use every opportunity throughout the day to talk to our babies about anything and everything. That is a great way to nurture the babies' early literacy solid foundation.

When washing the dishes or making dinner or cleaning up, we can explain the tasks we are doing to our babies. Babies will begin to hear familiar words if the parents are in the habit of doing this as a daily routine.

Remember,
talk to your baby
nurture their language firmly
and literacy competency seamlessly

To be continued...

Allah s.w.t jua yang Maha Mengetahui segalanya.
