Working with Prince Ranen Lee

I started sitting Ranen in front of the television at 4 months, he was watching Baby signs.  I know babies are not suppose to watch so young. But there was nothing much i could do with him when i am doing house work. When his 10th month came, we took him down stairs, he saw a dog and he tapped his lap. Then i knew he did learn from the DVD. I noticed he will sign the next scene, i reckon he have a great memory. We had no issue with him in his toddler years, he was a happy chap, nothing kept him down for long. We tried baby can read, he very quickly pick up words, but i was inconsistent to show him daily.

Basically he can read before 4 yrs old. He was learning numbers from Sesame street with Ernie, and recognising pattern with Bert and phonics with LeapFrog. I was watching with him all these time. I picked up phonics from Leapfrog too.

He loves puzzles, he was such an active boy, but puzzles can sit him down for a long time. We did lots of things together, i taught him how to do up the corners of the puzzles first, then the sides then fill in the missing in the middle. We knead play-do to strengthen his pincer grip, we sang, make up songs, painted, taught him colours and mixing into secondary colours. Read a lot of God's word to him.

He is such a clever child, he grasp concept very fast. A funny concept - we used to sing to him " this little piggy" when a friend of my wiggles her fingers and ask him " what is this?" he answered," pigs".  he remember all the bible stories i told him. One of the early games we played was bible story Q&A. Due to his memory power, he remember all the words i scolded him too.

He is K2 next year, i still feel he should be taught by us personally. He thrive with one to one training. He is currently ahead in K2 works, we like to train him in obedience and social aspect.
