早教 序言

早就想写一些有关我们教俩孩子的心得，现在总算开始了。
可能大部分的内容都是关于J的，毕竟他是第一个试验品。而且，J的语言和识字能力比P要好，也使得J更容易教（也可以说，我们不懂得怎么教语言能力相对较弱的P，也可见语言的优势对儿童的成长造成的影响）。

我将尽可能的介绍我们的方法，所用的教材，学习的环境以及其它的因素，和这些对两个孩子的不同效果。但是请所有的读者注意，对小孩的心智和体能的培养只是做父母的一部分的责任，关键的是，要把“爱”的心传承给孩子。没有了爱，只是一个躯壳或者机器而已。

爱是恒久忍耐，又有恩慈；
爱是不嫉妒，
爱是不自夸，
不张狂，
不做害羞的事，
不求自己的益处，
不轻易发怒，
不计算人的恶，
不喜欢不义，
只喜欢真理，
凡事包容、凡事相信、凡事盼望、凡事忍耐，
爱是永不止息。

《新约圣经》哥林多前书13章4-8节



这是一段妈妈的记忆：
“J was a early talker and was very sensitive to numbers, it was very easy and a pleasure to play with him and teach him when he was a baby, he simply absorbed anything we presented to him like a sponge. We taught him how to read Chinese which is his mother tongue when he was 1.5 years old, then taught him how to read English right before he started daycare at almost 3 years old. His day care teacher was very excited to show him to other teachers saying "look this 3 year old boy, he can read almost everything." The daycare put him into Junior kindergarten group when he was supposed to be at the preschool group, then when it was time for him to start J.K, his school teacher put him into SK group, so he repeated SK for 2 years before he went to Grade 1.
J loves sports, and he is a musical child as his violin teacher and his vocal coaching teacher told me, he started taking violin lesson before he turned to 5. When he was 5.5 years old, he was exceptionally accepted by Bach Children's chorus, from this September he will go to choir III group (which is for age 10+) and he enjoys singing very much. J attends Sunday school every week, he was accepted by Grade 1 Sunday school teacher when he was 3 year and 9 months old, they found out he can read bible at that time although he didn't understand quite well.
My husband and I are trying our best to provide him with a loving and caring home environment and hopefully he can be well brought up. His favourite subject is science, but he always complains school is so boring, he said he knew everything before the teacher presented to him. Math is his favourite subject at home but it is his most boring class at school since it is way too easy for him, he finished some grade 4 & 5 math book himself. The public school has mix class, last year he was placed in Grade 1 and 2 mixed class, the teacher found out he was very good at math, she herself went to talk to the principle to let him go to Grade 2 class at math time, but didn't get approved, I said no worried, even the grade 2 math is too easy for him. I heard some gifted children have social problems, while J is a very active easy-going social kid, he easily makes new friends, talks to people every where, and he helped his peers at school all the time. ”
