I said what I said!

 

15 out of 21?

For me color matters, and as a Black Woman raising black children I am unapologetic.

So I recently saw this video on youtube about how 15 out of 21 African children preferred a White doll over the Black doll, because the black doll is bad and the white doll is nice.

This is so not true and that's unfair conditioning at it's best. I instill the Greatness in my children every single day.

I raise my children as African Prince and Princesses and I tell them how beautiful/handsome, smart and amazing they are everyday. And if we go to the store and see a toy they like it must look like them, plain and simple.

My children knows that if the doll or toy they want doesn't look like us or have an African child on the front I will not pay my money for it.

May sound harsh but I refuse to let my child grow up in this corrupt world thinking that White is Superior, as I was forced to do. I didn't realize how amazing I was until I was 24 years of age. The self hate was real.

I will not go into the deep suffering and pain that Whites have had against my people but the last thing I need is my daughter worshiping someone that has oppressed us for many years, even today!

Over my dead body!

Anyways before I go off the deep end I said what I said. Good day! 

Curious children

 

Toddlers are super curious and interested in everything around them.

They do also think they are the center of it all. They learn by experiencing their world and through play.  They should be allowed to interact in a safe way with their surroundings.  For example, when they are outside they should be free to explore but not among dangerous plants or terrain. At a playground, they should be limited to the structures for their age range. Inside, their play areas should be safe, and any objects left for them to play with should not be breakable or toxic.  Toddlers love to touch and can learn by feeling all different textures. This works well with items around the house such as fabrics, woods, metals, foods, etc.  Toddlers also learn through imitation. It is very important to speak to them often using the correct words for all of the things that they see and do. Reading aloud to toddlers also is very important in the development of their speech and will help them become good readers and writers in the future. They love to see different facial expressions and to play peek-a-boo.  Toddlers should also spend time with other toddlers. These ‘play dates’ should be highly supervised. Although the toddlers may just be doing side-by-side play, they are learning to use their imagination and develop appropriate social skills.  Most importantly, toddlers learn love by spending quality time with their families. Practicing manners and family traditions and routines lays an important foundation for developing a well adjusted child. 

Toddler brain development

 

I cannot stress this enough...

Teaching toddlers takes A Lot of patience.  I think that their brains are moving way too fast to slow down and take in what you are trying to teach them! It is not impossible to teach them new things, but again, it takes patience. I remember just watching my kids play at ages 2 or 3, and the imagination that they had at such a young ages really surprised me. Sometimes a child will just decide that they are ready for something, and you are not even aware that they are going to do that something new until they do it on their own.  One day they could be afraid to be in their room alone, and the next day their they are, in that room digging everything out of a toy box, and sitting in the box pretending to be driving a car!  You just never know what a small child will or won't do, and that is the fun of it...the unexpected! I guess the easiest way to teach a toddler whatever it is that you want them to know is just to get their attention, and do whatever it is that you want to learn.  Children often "mimic" what other people do. It may or may not work the first time they are shown, but keep repeating it and one day they will do whatever it is on their own, and you will be able to move on to something new!  Don't forget a two or three year old brain is just like your kitchen sponge. It is soaking up all that information you are showing, books, and the T.V. and all the other people that are everywhere you take them. 

Is your child at risk of being illiterate?

 At what age can you start teaching a child to read?

When they're babies? At 2 years old, 3, 4, or 5 years old, or wait until they're in school?

According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress,

If you delay your child's reading skill development until he or she enters school, you are putting your child at risk...

Did you know that 67% of all Grade 4 students cannot read at a proficient level!

Of that 67%, 33% read at just the BASIC level,

And 34% CANNOT even achieve reading abilities of the lowest basic level!

There is a super simple and extremely effective system that will even teach 2 and 3 year old children to read.

This is a unique reading program developed by a loving parent and English teacher of 14 years, who successfully taught all of her children to read before turning 3 years old.

The reading system she developed is so effective that by the time her daughter was just 4 years old, she was already reading at a grade 3 level.

She has a video to prove it...

How much patience does it take?

 

Patience, patience, patience

Teaching kids requires an enormous amount of patience. I have also learned that you have to show young children tenderness because they are very sensitive. You too have to be sensitive and energetic to keep the child's attention. Another factor to teaching kids is making the learning experience fun. I think another key factor in teaching children is you have to have rewards for good work done. I love positive reinforcement!!!  Make sure whatever subject your introducing them to has very abstract colorful learning tools so its exciting for the kid or should I say toddler. The reason I think teachers of toddlers should have a lot of patience is because toddlers have very short attention span. So it may take some time to get the small children to focus.  When dealing with this type of behavior it can sometime be very frustrating but we must remember we are dealing with small children that might not yet grasp the full concept of what you are presenting to them.  That's when the tenderness comes in you have to let them know its alright if they seem to struggle at first just have a little patience and they will slowly start to pick it up. Just remember to keep encouraging them.  Some ways to make the learning experience fun are to turn the lesson into a game and incorporate prizes.

Toddlers are full time jobs

 Teaching toddlers is like having a full-time job. It takes a lot of patience and determination to be an effective teacher at any level.

  In my experiences with toddlers a lot of repetitive examples and hands on demonstration seems to be extremely beneficial. Also rewarding for correct information recall of taught information will help reinforce the curriculum.  A lot of the production relies on you the teacher though too. Having the patience to teach things that are routine to you as the teacher is essential to the toddler being able to comprehend the information being taught. Interacting with children of similar ages will also be a good forum of learning among peers.  Comprehensive television programming is a good idea as well during down time so that learning is still being cultivated. Good examples of this would be Super Why, Signing Time, other shows geared towards youth learning.
