For 4 years old, it is the peak period where you can cultivate their creativity. If you miss this peak period, it’s hard to make up for it. You can read up on books about early childhood creativity for children. When my child was 4, I admitted that I bought the whole shelf of assessment books home. Till date, some of those books only did a few pages. I believe that to develop a child’s creativity, you can’t stifle a child with too much worksheets to do. Allowing the child to explore in arts is a good way to increase creativity in the child. I only started Peter and Jane books with my child after she turned 5. She picked up very fast and willing to read and learn eagerly. It’s just like potty training, if you start too early, you spend a long time to train the child. Starting later not only allows one to have a more relaxed attitude towards potty training but in training a child to stay dry at night in a matter of 2 weeks. Learn to follow a child’s pace. By forcing a child to do something when the child is not ready can backfire and slow down progress. Any child will learn and pick up speed in learning when the child is developmentally ready. Meanwhile, enjoy your children’s precious childhood spent with you.

hi, mummies and daddies!
I’m new here, needed some advice with regards to my little advanced reader on how to further engage her and stimulate her .
My gal is 3.5 yrs old now,she started reading independently when she was about 2 yrs old, and before she turned 3, she was reading the Little Men series on her own. she has a very strong interest in reading and language, will pick up anything and read, like recipe books, encyclopaedia, even watsapp mssg.
She can read Mandarin as well, know to speak some Malay from my helper, as well as some Hokkien from my in-laws.
She is attending Berries, music and swimming classes now, on top of her full day child care class.
I would like to know if there is any courses/ classes in Spore that can stimulate kids like her in this area?
Thank you in advance! -
Hi Mommydeer!
It's wonderful your child is such a voracious reader! She sounds like a gifted child. Have you spoken to her childcare teachers about this?
I'm not aware of any classes or programmes in SG which cater to preschool children with advanced abilities. I would think it would be good if you encourage her to read books for older children (I'm sure you are already doing this), and how about introducing her to maths and science and foreign languages? -
