Yes, I can't believe parents let their babies to join playgroups so early and so many in the past.
After my baby was borned and when he was 6 mths old, I let him join gym class to see if he like it....finally we have 2 gym classes a week as he loves it so much as we (hb and I) have fun and feel happy to see his happy face during the class.
Last Nov, I tried language class as my baby can only speak a few words and now he is 19 mths, though I don't know it is good or not as there are different views.
He had his first Spanish and the teacher is great, makes the lessons interesting and even my hb and I want to learn Spanish when we attended the class with my baby. Now, we can see him have fun in the class, looks at the teachers' lip and tries to pronouce the words (he seldom does this at home). My maid says he doesn't want to leave every time after classes. As English and Mandarin are useful for him in the future, we will try to have them in Feb, see if he enjoys; actually it is only 6 mths earlier as he will learn them in Pre-nursery.
We have other playgroups as well, some teaching them how to do things like tidy up, pull the chair, put the food in the plate and eat, and throw away rubbish and clean his hands by himself. Though you can say parents can do it ourself, but we always need to work late and, it is much better than letting the babies playing with toys and "chat" and "learn" the language from my maid.
Many of my friends also critize if it is necessary to have so many pg. Actually it is only 1 or 2 class a day from Tue to Friday, 45 min@, so it takes him 1.5 hrs a day to learn or "play" and try to have his "social life" with other babies and adults. And we have some on Sat, that we will go with him and there we can see how much fun he has.
The most important to me on whether to have how many and which pgs is, it won't make him feel tired (as it takes 1.5 hrs a day after he wakes up and have milk, the most active timing), and he has fun and enjoys it.
We tried music when he was one but he didn't like it so we didn't join any. Now we will have trial again in Feb as he may like it as he grows up a bit; if not, just forget it.
So, I would only pick those that he loves them and can learn something there.
But yes, as what you said......many people always think their views are "absolutely right" and you need to follow their "instructions. They won't accept other views or even listen to your reasonale behind.........so I will feel mad when they "speak words" to me also. |
