Kids are naturally playful at all times especially our toddlers. Most of them see things as toys. Even in mealtime, there are a lot of destructions that’s why many of them end up leaving the table running back to their toys.
We should not let them practice such things everyday because it will be hard for us to change every bad habit that they get used to when they got older. There is no particular age of a child that a mother should start teaching them self discipline. Even babies can develop a bad habit if we let them do that. It is just a matter of dealing with our own child and knowing how to raise them in the most proper way possible.
I have two sons, ages 11 and 4. As early as two years old, or even younger, when they started to talk already, that’s when I began to teach them the alphabet. I started buying educational toys, flash cards, posters and books of phonics for them. I prefer to buy the more colorful ones but the good quality is really important to consider. Vibrant colors are more attractive to kids and that would be easier for us to get their attention. We must allow even an hour everyday to sit down with our kids and start introducing them the things that they should learn before we put them in a pre-school. No matter how busy we were and how hectic our schedules would be, we should implement a daily routine and be their first teacher who can maximize their learning ability even at home.

Encouragement is the most important factor before we start sitting down with them and introduce letters and numbers. We also want them to stay focus and enjoy what they are doing by making it a little playful for them. Yes, they might give us a little headache and this is the time that we must exercise our patience and bear in mind that it is for their own good. Eventually, we will going to embrace fulfillment and be rewarded by seeing them excel among their peers.
